The '''Ecology''' is 'the study of relationships among [[organism|the interrelationships between organisms]] in [[ecosystem|ecosystems]].and their natural environment, both living and non-living'<ref>WileMartin, DrE. Jay Land Hine, R. (2008) ''Exploring Creation With A Dictionary of Biology''. Apologia Educational MinistriesOxford University Press, IncOxford, U.K. 1998</ref> The term comes from the German "oekologie."Ecology is the study of how humanity learns that they are not ruled by god or mythological texts such as the Bible. Ecology states how the balance of life is based on scientific principals. In the [[biosphere]], each part is connected and dependent on all the other parts so that when corporations dump poisonous substance or radioactive waste into our neighborhoods, those toxins will end up killing life or creating diseases such as [[cancer]]. Neoconservative corporate stooges and Christian nutcases insist that unregulated capitalism is good for humans but this ignores the basic reality of ecology. Unregulated capitalism and greed kill many people by ignoring the basic ecological principal that what you put into the environment stays in the environment.

Prayer will not stop poison from causing cancer. Money will not protect you if the air A popular aspect of ecology is so polluted that you will die. Global warming is an example the relationship of how capitalism and neoconservative greed are destroying the planet you live on relative proportions of predator and the one your children will grow up inprey. Global warming is caused by human industrialist practices such as polluting factories and automobiles. By burning fossil fuelsWhen more predators are introduced to an environment, carbon dioxide is released into the biospherethey eat more prey animals. Previous This tends to increase the industrialist revolution population of capitalism the atmosphere was balanced with life affirming concentrations of atmospheric gasespredators, since they get more food and can thus live longer to reproduce more. With But it also reduces the huge addition food supply of carbon dioxide from factories and automobiles the balance of atmospheric gases has become disrupted. Rememberpredators, everything is connected which contrariwise causes the predators to everything elselive shorter lives and to reproduce less. So ExxonMobil makes billions However, since predators tend to eat herbivores, increased predation of dollars and your children are doomed herbivores will allow [[plants|primary producers]] to live increase in popularion, creating a far different world than phenomenon called a Trophic Cascade <ref>Estes, James A. and Terborgh, John, ''Trophic Cascades: Predators, Prey, and the one we now inhabitChanging Dynamics of Nature''.

Ecology is a branch of science. Praying will not make global warming go away. Huge corporations will continue {{quotebox|The first significant contribution to lie and corrupt our system the theory of politcal representation to make moneypopulation ecology was that of [[Thomas Malthus]], an English clergyman, who in 1798 published his Essay on the Principle of Population. And Malthus introduced the ecology concept that at some point in time an expanding population must exceed supply of our biosphereprerequisite [[natural resources]], which supports human lifei.e., will erodepopulation increases exponentially resulting in increasing competition for means of subsistence, food, shelter, etc. This concept has been termed the "Struggle for Existence".

The best way to protect the environment Ecology is to pay attention to how you affect the ecology of the system of planet Earth. Pay attention to how much you are consuming junk. Do not purchase usesless products from giant corporations. Buy locally produced goods. And above allan established [[science]], stop allowing religious nuts and neoconservatives to tell you that dumping poison into but the environment term is necessary for America. Read James Lovelock and E. O. Wilson rather than watch Fox Newsoften confused with or used interchangeably with [[environmentalism]]. ==References==
