dhw: in order to balance Nature in such a way that it could end up with human beings.[/i] 
 I also accept the possibility of certain combinations of these hypotheses, but there are some I would exclude as being too far-fetched, and the one above is among them. I shall indeed keep on cringing.-My thought is very different than yours: nature has to have a balance so that a food supply is available for all living beings. That allows the process of evolution to move forward and for complexity to emerge (either with God's guidance or not entirely. Note that humans only began to appear 6 million years ago. Life started about 3.8 byo. The balance maintained life until the current epoch. Balance gives the time to allow humans to appear though the evolutionary process. It did not cause humans.
