Is humanity creating or solving problems? ~ e.g ~ can polluting industrial processes be offset by technological advances? ~ are we overpopulating the earth to such an extent that we'll strip all natural resources and deplete the atmosphere? ~ Would it be better to live more 'naturally' and less 'artificially'? So many questions, so little time.......
It's not as simple that the one thing is just better then the other. Some things can be combined. I do think we are overpopulating the world though, we started that with the industrial revolution.. which on itself both created and solved problems.
