    It wasn’t too long ago the chance of making it to puberty was equal to a coin toss. Nature is no garden of Eden.

      Sure thing, but it seems that we’re also driving ourselves to the other side of the survivability bell curve with how ‘well’ we’re creating a habitat. I can’t argue that either of you are wrong, the logic is consistent, nature isn’t friendly, at best it’s indifferent. But let’s not miss the forest for the trees, just because humans are capable of toiling land for the next generation, doesn’t mean that the planet is necessarily more or less habitable, it means that it can be habitable for more occupations.
