The living and holistic biosystem that is nature cannot be dissected or resolved into its parts. Once broken down, it dies. Or rather, those who break off a piece of nature lay a hold of something that is dead, and unaware that what they are examining is no longer what they think it to be, claim to understand nature. Man commits a grave error when he collects data and findings piecemeal on a dead and fragmented nature and claims to "know", "use" or "conquer" nature. Because he starts out with misconceptions about nature and takes the wrong approach to understanding it , regardless of how rational his thinking, everything winds up all wrong.
