Over millions of years, and much more. A system that evolved  with such intricate and delicate, almost invisible balances. The sheer artistry of nature is a wonder to behold in itself. Now we see ourselves as <u>controllers<\/u> of that ecosystem.  We now, in our arrogance, have evolved ourselves as an Egosystem &#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n.. and we forget that we are an essential part of nature&#8217;s artistry. But no more essential than a Polar Bear, an Eagle, a Tree, or even a blade of Grass.  We are not beyond, and never will be beyond ,the fine checks and balances of that artistry.  We are nature, and the genetic consciousness of Nature will never allow one of it&#8217;s non essential components to upset it&#8217;s own balance over time.<br \/>\nThe volcanic activity of the Earth ultimately led to the creation of Glaciers over millions of years. The Glacier became a huge natural reservoir of Water, that let out a little all the year round and then replenished itself through a finely tuned system of snow fall and ice compression. And so the Rivers were formed. The rivers nourished the land and soil around which we human beings evolved over time.<br \/>\nSo what kind of science will allow us to recreate our Glaciers ?  With a natural ebb and flow of receiving and giving ?<br \/>\nNature will not be defeated by the over grown cancer in it&#8217;s own body.  Or nature itself will die with that cancer.  I do believe that over time we are genetically predisposed to be like Lemmings.  Our genetic consciousness is a part of nature&#8217;s own larger consciousness. It will force us to self destruct in the end.  The human race lives too much in the illusion of individuality.<br \/>\nWe have to see ourselves as an inherent part of an ecosystem and stop deluding ourselves in the arrogance of an egosystem.
