The argument presupposes a Romantic model of transformation through sublime wilderness, ignoring that urban natures, ecological restoration, and managed landscapes also generate profound value shifts.

Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted): Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
Romantic model(referring to a particular philosophical/cultural tradition about nature and human change): A way of thinking (coming from the Romantic era, roughly 1800s) that emphasizes emotion, nature's power, and personal transformation through deep experience rather than logic alone.
ecological restoration(another type of managed nature that can create meaningful change): The process of actively repairing or rebuilding damaged ecosystems to make them healthier and more natural, often through human effort.
managed landscapes(contrasts with 'pristine wilderness' to show humans can create value through intentional environmental work): Environments that humans intentionally shape and maintain, like farms, forests we harvest from, or parks we design—nature that's been deliberately worked with.
