Some of us are laboring under a very serious misapprehension. We think that a magnificent Super Being, normally referred to as God, has the slightest interest in the well-being of an individual man or woman. There are Universal Laws for that.
Even as a President or a Prime Minister must be concerned with the welfare of the whole country, so a Being, who is supposedly in charge of whole Universe, must think in terms of the Big Picture, and not the pleb on the surface of a tiny planet.
And the big picture, the Phenomenal Universe, is always sustained by balance, which is maintained, by the centrifugal and centripetal forces. Centrifugal to assure expansion (of phenomenal life) and centripetal to keep us together.
And talking of balance, we, the human species, have upset it. We are behaving as though we were the only species in this world.
Enter Noah:
Seeing that the flood destroyed most of life on earth, told all the animals to "Go forth and multiply." He must have forgotten that we, humans, are also animals. Within 2000 years we multiplied from 300 million to 7.9 billion. Sex is fun but in excess it upsets the Universal Law of Balance. Soon we, a single specie, began to live at the expense of all the other species. Both, flora and fauna!
By 1 A.D., the population had reached 300 million, which indicates a
growth rate of 0.0512% per year. Life expectancy at birth averaged 10
years for most of human history. The birth rate would have to be about
80 per 1000 just for the species to survive.

Enter Einstein:
"All is Energy" he announced.
We must conclude that Noah had referred to us multiplying our thoughts (creative energy), to diversify and enhance our reality. Simple minds converted his words to rampant sex. To this day we are ruled, led, and informed (mass media) by simple minds. Both civil and ecclesiastic minds. After all, the more people there are, the more tax or tithe can be extracted from them. Almighty Greed took over from Almighty God.
Something had to be done. Assuming that the Omnipresent Consciousness would take steps to restore the balance of flora and fauna, it might require our cooperation.
The remedial measures have already started. A rapid climate change resulting in floods, fires, inundations, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and now a brand new idea, a virus. The only way the virus would work if it was spread all over the world almost simultaneously. It is extremely hard to accept that the virus could spread itself with such alacrity without some sort of human participation. Luckily, there are always the "Few" who would be aware of the need to reduce our rampant overpopulation; the Few who would assist nature in her endeavours. (And... with luck, make a few billion dollars in the process?)
Yet, those "Few" might save us from being erased from the world. Nature might also not stop in her endeavours without our participation. New species are born and terminated daily. Even dinosaurs after 165 million years... are gone.
(We're around for a fraction of that time.)
And then, if we survive, perhaps we shall finally take Noah's intended advice and begin to think in terms of the Big Picture. And, according to Einstein, the phenomenal virus is no more than an illusion. And, after all, the potential is within us. We are gods, remember?

As for my book CONCLUSIONS—Pragmatic Reality,
the second part of the title is of prime importance. Both, scientists
and people guided by religions tend to wonder into the unknown without
considering the practical consequences. The word pragmatic
disables such ventures. Unless my conclusions have a practical
application they are not included in this book. And pragmatic in my
sense means not only practical but useful. Useful to serve us on our
infinite journey of uniting our Egos with our Self.
To repeat Einstein again, "the rest are details".
