Who cares what you call them. Nature's God, not gaia, made them for a reason. God gave us the ability to reason so we can learn from our mistakes. This world functions with a dynamic equilibrium that we have barely begun to grasp. In the meantime, we need cheap energy.
Draining swamps where land is needed for development is a mistake?
Anyhoo, I just asked a question. Are what is called wetlands today, the same thing that was/is called swamps? Or is it any wet ground such as estuaries, etc too?
One last thing. Nature has its own God? I thought we all shared the one true God?
Just being a smart### at the end there. I’m sure you caught that but thought I’d mention it just in case.
