To me, 'Mother Nature' and ' God' are one and the same. They are both personifications of a creator with great power which we cannot explain
.God, whatever that may be, cannot be the operator of us as a puppeteer operates a marionette. Nature is a creator without form. Both are immensely cruel and appear to lack compassion by human terms. But they also created much beauty. God though has had many atrocities committed in His name
As a person, I appreciate and marvel at the beauty created. And in total awe at the universe, the arrangement of stars and planets, ordered and seemingly random in their movement at the same time. And the same applies to the atomic and sub atomic. The more knowledge we get, the more mind boggling it all becomes.
God, Nature, call it what you will. To me it is simply a way that some have of explaining something beyond our understanding. We can analyse the universe, have theories about its origins, try to understand atomic theory. But nothing rational explains the why and how it all came into being. For those that believe in God as a creator that is fine and may give a meaning to their life, but taken to the extremes we see by certain religious sects religion can be an abomination..
