You missed my point: the weak, the meek, the infirm, the cowardly will inherit the Earth. That is a given. The rest will leave this planet for greater things. Hitler, et al, never thought that -- they wanted to subjugate the weak, meek, etc. and remain on this planet.

As for this:

I have been watching a huge leaf on a Philodendron unfold and it inspires me in how weak man really is and how strong Nature is...

Man's mind, created by nature is greater than nature. Nature is blind while those that use their minds are focused. I was watching a Ferrari the other day as it hit speeds of 230 MPH and it inspires me how strong Man is and how weak Nature is. Man took million-year old plants which had dissolved into black goo and determined how to use that goo and rust-coated iron buried in hills to completely bend Nature to his will.

Gotta love those "Oil Barons"...
