Nature is superior to man, no debate

By: N. George

Worth Noting:

• In a house man install heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) to help maintain good indoor air quality through adequate ventilation with filtration and provide thermal comfort but this is inferior to what is provided by trees as they cool down the air and cleanses it.
• Herbivores feed on vegetation and they eat it in raw form. A deep analysis of them and a comparison between them and the man who eat processed food you will realise that herbivores are less likely to fall sick compared to human beings. Not bothering to process their food eating it raw ensures no nutrient is lost in the process mind you that some of the herbs have medicinal value which help them to remain healthy.

Ignorance of nature’s ways led people in ancient times to invent gods to lord it over every aspect of human life..………. Stephen Hawking, The Grand Design.

Whatever is not manmade is said to be natural whether animals, vegetation, atmosphere, the galaxy system, the earth’s crust, sea level, forces like centripetal, centrifugal and gravity and everything else that man has no hand in its formation.

Much as the man does not create what nature provide he has interests in these resources and keeps using them to his benefit like trees in a forest he can use them to provide the shade during hot summers. The flowering plants which later bear fruits provide man with food. Plants are important in providing firewood useful in cooking; trees are known to act as windbreakers.

However man at times clears these trees so as to sell them and generate revenue resulting to deforestation. This not only happens to trees but also other vegetation, when the rains fall on the bare land soil erosion occurs at times resulting to gullies.

To control this man goes ahead and constructs gabions. A few things are notable the productivity of the land is reduced as the top layer of soil which is fertile has been eroded, thereafter you hear men complain of hunger.

There is increased air pollution as there is reduced trees cover which were cleaning the air by absorbing carbon dioxide during the day in the photosynthesis process and emitting oxygen which is inhaled by man and animals.

Birds useful in pollination process by transferring pollen (via their bills) from one flower to another as they flit between plants feeding on nectar. Cutting down trees which acts as host to birds whether resting or building nests will affect the pollination process.

To enable him to have heat for cooking food and light man relies on water at waterfalls where it runs at high speed to generate electricity useful in heating and lighting others use firewood and charcoal but these cannot be as good as solar energy or wind power. In times of shortages in rains there are difficulties in generating hydroelectric power but the solar system will just require exposing a solar panel to sun rays to collect them.

Eating eggs and meat of a caged chicken it is not as tasty as that of a free range chicken despite man intervention and keeping them in a safe place where they have limited movements he cannot make their quality superior to those that operate naturally.

Men are good when it comes to decoration but if you visit a natural setting and see how beautiful the flowers are in their arrangement and colour then you will realise that nature is superior to what man can make.

No source of light and heat can be compared to the sun no matter how advanced one can claim his system is.

Man has invented many gadgets to inspect drugs and they help to catch abusers and smugglers but none of them can match the dogs and cats ability to detect the smells of drugs.

During the outbreak of covid-19 breathing problems were experienced by all those who were infected hence there was artificial administration of oxygen but none of them has been as successful as the natural/ non assisted breathing where lungs filter oxygen inhaled.

Man has developed many systems to recycle water but none can be said to be superior to the natural one where the sun rays evaporates water from the ground surface forms clouds accumulates before falling back as rainfall.

A specialist in a certain field by formal training for example in music cannot match creativity with the one who has a talent in music with the latter being more creative and sounding more natural.
