Science thing.
One of the strange things about evolution is how we claim to believe it, yet at the same time don't seem to want to follow it. A big part of evolution is the death of those that are maladapted.
If a species dying off is part of how the process works, why do we have an endangered species list? I guess just having the list would be fine, but we use the list to try to keep these animals around. It should be a "see 'em while they're still around" list.
I know that some will say that man is the reason many of those species are going extinct so we have to protect them. Didn't we evolve on this planet as well? So, wouldn't we and everything we do be part of the Earth's natural process?
If the beaver built a dam that affected the fish population, no one would protest the beaver. So, why is it when we build a dam, many people see it as wrong? I'm sorry Mr. Bog Turtle, but we're doing what we do. Besides, you don't really see any other animals chipping in to help preserve anything.
"Excuse me shark, but could you stop eating so many of the monk seals. They're on a list."
We also need to apply natural selection to our own species. If your to dumb to make it on your own, we are doing the species a disservice by helping you.
I don't care if you believe in evolution or not. If you do believe in it however, I think you should allow it to work.
