We should not worship nature to such a high degree. Yes, we should try to conserve wild areas as a buffer against mistakes and for basic enjoyment. And we are not doing a good enough job of that.
But the assumption is that basically the wild areas have some sacred process or system going on that we cannot possibly ever aspire to understanding or surpassing.
First of all, there is absolutely no separation between the "wild" world and the "human" world. The idea of a natural world that is separate from a human world is an oversimplification that has become misleading.
Everything in the world, including people and the things that we make, from human feces, to plastic trash bags to rocket ships and computers, is the result of the same natural physical laws and processes involved in the universe.
The planet sees itself with billions of eyes. The planet thinks with billions of tiny minds.
The cities, roadways, and agricultural fields that cover increasingly large areas of earth are part of the natural evolution of the planet.
Its hard to really convey especially since we are so far down the line of nature worship, but part of what I am trying to get across is that humans have already surpassed nature in some ways, and if we haven't already done so then we can create environments that do.
I think it will be easier to appreciate this type of thing once we become a multi-planet species. Or at least get a colony on the moon or something.
Because part of the nature worship is the reality that we only have one biosphere to support us. We need to fix that.
But another thing -- this does tie into Malthusian population control, eugenics, classism, etc. There is an inherent disgust for the dirty masses that is hidden behind the earth worship. We have to remember the value of human life.
