Quite agree with & how can you think of nature as anything else but dynamic fluxuating systems that on larger scales are cyclical in nature which influence changing landscapes & envirionments above & below the earths crust & atmosphere , looking all the way back in the lens of geologic time . The earth periodically shifts its axis rotation & also the electromagnetic field and there have been several major epochs that were global changing events if were looking all the way back .
As you're trying to point out science itself is evolving as it generates new data & interpretation of how that effects the peerception of the whole integration of cyclical systems in place that are the larger engines that drive oceanic currents , continental drift & atmospheric flux .
The you add man himself which now seems a bright light bulb going off in many heads , one of those "ahaha" moments that we see ourselves as another one of those new epochs where effects of our activities over time at present rates are having global impacts creating new stresses on local systems by diversion , damming , mining , fishing , transporting , chemical & materials manufacturing , farming , transporting , consumming on mass scales & dealing with the waste billions of us produce .
