The Correlation Between Nature and God
Written by Matthew A Cruz
First I must simply ask, what is the difference between nature and God? It is a
question of pure ambiguity and of ultimate spirituality, yet dispersed throughout a
crossroad, where the phenomena of physical reality and the complexity of focal
ideology once met. I mention pure ambiguity because the question is convoluted and
abstract—full of endless meaning of the two central words. Yet, nature and God have a
soul between the two; a bridge where life abruptly exists due to the thought of a
designer. So yeah, I must ask, what is the difference—the totality of the question
answered by speculation on how the thought manifested into existence.
Nature is defined as, the phenomena of the physical world
collectively—according to the Lexico definition. We must understand the definition and
personification of the word before I further my reasoning of the two. Visually speaking,
imagine nature as the Aspen trees and Pine trees dipped in the frost snow, hundreds of
them stretched out over the mountainous landscape. How did these trees first come to
exist? Was the snow purposely placed on these trees, especially with every snowflake as a
different pattern in shape? But the defining question towards this visual, is the
correlation between nature and the Goddess. Rather than whom—since
presumptuously God is assumed as the who to create life, but how did life come to
be—and why? You see, life is continuous in growth, activity, potential procreation, as
opposed to inanimate objects or death. However, the general thought of nature is
viewed to be as all things but humans or human creations. From a secular scientific
thought, isn’t the idea of God, a human creation?
One of the most controversial, principal questions to had ever been asked, is who
is God? But I present this document as avoidance on seeking the Goddess’s identity or
personality, instead, what is this deity? Let’s focus on a characteristic—one, God
being omniscient. I believe to be omniscient, to know all things is to exist in all things;
omniscience is omnipresence. For example, to know everything about a Pine tree, is to
know how it came to be, its sensibility and sensuality, its anatomy and its population;
but to an absolute extent, as to experience being every Pine tree, ever. It is directly
perceiving from every possible angle of this botany. To conclude this thought, I assume
God has lived around, within, as every Pine tree possible—obtaining absolute
understanding, the truest cognition of its nature.
But is the idea of this omniscient being, human-made? For the sake of this
document, let’s say yes AND no. Because regardless, the idea of God is human-made,
whether its existence is true or not. To justify this thought is to cycle back on
omniscience, for God to know all things, it is to know all humans; and to know all
humans is to exist around, within and as all humans—thus God is human and is
human-made. I am still in need to rationalize the concept of nature, its structure being
humanless and non human-made life.
