Comments by "Philip Rayment" (@PJRayment) on "The Longest Border Fence on Earth (isn’t meant for humans)" video.

@adjjal "When they arrived is irrelevant, ...." Not when the claim is made that the harmonious enviroment has been like that for millions of years. "...the point is they were fully integrated and worked within the natural ecosystem." So introduced species can become part of the natural ecosystem. Okay, noted. "Now the ecosystem is damaged and its only going to continue getting worse if we carry on like this" Why? According to you it was not damaged by the dingoes. And humans are smarter than nature. A point that this video completely ignored.

sub R0cky "you sound like super arrogant "i know everything" person" Yeah, well, when you decide what a person is like with enough certainty to insult them with it, from a couple of comments, then I'd suggest that you are the arrogant one. I'm actually the sort of person who is prepared to back my claims with evidence rather than arrogantly expect people to believe me just because I say so.

The main problem with this video is the ideological nature-worship underlying it. The relationship between humans and nature presented here is ideological and pretends like there is no other way of seeing it.

@rakeshsahoo8080 "Are your government doing something about those fences?" No. Perhaps because they have more sense than the ideological nature-worship underlying much of this video.

@chlorine5795 "Well atleast "nature-worship" is better than stupid ... "jesus-worship"." What's your reasoning and evidence for that? Jesus worship has given us freedoms, compassion for strangers, public hospitals and many charities, universal education, science, more democracy, the abolition of slavery, universities, elevated status of women, human rights, and more. What has nature worship given us? So, to repeat, what's your reasoning and evidence for your claim that nature worship is better?

@chlorine5795 "Lol..none of the things you mentioned has been given to us by jesus worship...." False. From an article in the European Journal of Internal Medicine: "The origins of the public hospital are evidenced in early Christian age, when the Christian message led people to assist the sick and the poor and to establish centers for such interventions, initially in the house of the bishop, then in monasteries and, finally, in autonomous buildings (the hospitals)." Loren Eiseley: “The philosophy of experimental science … began its discoveries and made use of its methods in the faith, not the knowledge, that it was dealing with a rational universe controlled by a creator who did not act upon whim nor interfere with the forces He had set in operation … . It is surely one of the curious paradoxes of history that science, which professionally has little to do with faith, owes its origins to an act of faith that the universe can be rationally interpreted, and that science today is sustained by that assumption.” On compassion, see the video "Glen Scrivener: Compassion - How Christianity made our moral world • Unapologetic 2/4" "If anything it has imepeded the growth of most of those things. "freedoms" ? "abolition of slavery" ? "elevated status of women" ? you must be kidding, right ?" No, I'm not kidding. It's well known that Britain abolished slavery thanks to the Christian politician William Wilberforce, backed by a group of Christians including John Newton, the author of the hymn Amazing Grace. On freedom, see for example "The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success" by Rodney Stark. I haven't included references for everything, but enough to show that you are wrong on your complete dismissal of the history. So again, what has nature worship done that is better?

sub R0cky "wait till australia turns into sahara desert within 10-20 years..." Which I'm sure that it won't, and I doubt that you can provide any good evidence that it will.

@KodaIsTerminator "their point was dingoes are already adapted into the ecosystem so there's no point talking about when they arrived" Then why did the opening poster talk about when they arrived? And how long does it take them to adapt?

@KodaIsTerminator "thousands of years but the past is the past we now gotta make sure the environment is fine now not add more problems do it" So you can't answer my questions, but instead try to change the topic.
