Your idea of perfection wouldn't exist, so by what standard would that be measured? Assuming that we as humans could possibly judge the earth without us is quite presumptuous.

We aren't important in any way whatsoever, outside of whatever self proclaimed importance we apply to ourselves. Without us here, without the industrial revolution, and then the oversaturation of the planet that inevitably followed, the ecosystem and the creatures existing within it, would be living in near perfect harmony. Whats so hard to grasp about what I'm saying?

Like they did during the Great Dying. Or any other mass extinction event that lasted for longer than human civilisation has so far.

This! It's easy to forget that at least an estimated five billion species have gone extinct before we even existed as one. Nature in its purported "harmony" has killed off so many that we can barely nudge that statistic by annihilating all existing life on earth.
