We just happened. If unnatural means the product of intentional design, then yes, some things we do aren't natural. And some apples are green. So what? The only way you get to any kind of conclusion is by making judgements about this state of affairs, and your judgements are purely arbitrary. We interact with our environment. So what? So does every living thing. ![]()

Not in the tropics. Quote:2-To eat, we must consume organisms that already exist on earth. Just like all other life on Earth. It would be far more shocking if we didn't have to eat and if we weren't eaten by something. Certain parasites are exclusive to our species. They can't live without us. Interestingly, they are found exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa.

In other words; you have no natural mechanism in your own body that ensures the production of food, drink and air. You need the O2 from earth's atmoshphere. You need the water from earth's surface/underground. You need the food from creatures that already live on earth. RE: We don't belong here.

Quote:You need the water from earth's surface/underground.Good thing there's water, here...then...huh? Quote:You need the food from creatures that already live on earth.Good thing there's food.......here..........then......huh? None of those three things is the case in so many other places, and whatever point you wish to explain how any of those things are "unnatural" or how any of those things support the notion that we weren't "made for" the place where those things exist...remains a mystery. I say that rhetorically, it's not a mystery...you're just not very smart..that's why you think silly things.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This is the same for every organism on the planet. Ever see a hermetically sealed monkey? That would be unnatural! |
