Another Question That Has Bugged Me...........
    #4314640 - 06/19/05 06:04 PM (18 years, 9 months ago)

I often have conversations with my buddy on this topic...

People talk about Nature as something "other" than man....my thoughts are man is also nature....he is a natural event....so things such as "Global Warming", war , genocides , cities , cars etc are natural ....and we know that nature runs itself perfectly......

sodo u think man is part of nature...if so can his actions and what he builds also beconsidered natural??

sorry if this doesn't make any sense.... :smile:

We're part of nature, of course, but we're also unique in nature as the only (known) species to achieve sentience, art, music, complex societies, industry, and all the rest.

So while we are part of nature, we're an exceptional part and I think it's fair to say that in some contexts, we're apart from nature.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Do you believe that everything "man" does is natural?

Man is an animal that is smarter than other animals. If we went away evolution would replace us. We are part of nature....not separate...we carry no more importance than any other part of it. Ego creates this illusion.

Even synthesized chemicals have natural sources. The concept of natural drugs and vitamins is ludicrous...they are all natural.

I think people confuse the word natural with the phrase man-made.

Definitely. Man is natural, thus anything man creates is natural.

Beavers build dams, yet we don't think of them as "technology".

Termites build mounds, taller than men, but we don't call them "artificial".

i dont think we even know what natural actually means. i think every1 has a different opinion of what natural is. some people think natural is what god gave us, in the form he gave it to us, and if it is altered by man it is thus unnatural.
but others could see it as everything we have on this earth is natural. everything we have god gave us. no matter how we change it, the essence and ingredients are all natural, thus, unnatural does not exsist.
its more of an opinion than a fact.  :rasta:

A thing doesn't have to "exist" to have meaning. The concept itself is definable and holds meaning, whether it "exists" in reality or not.

Since man is natural and everything that a man does is natural, then it is perfectly natural that man considers himself to not be a part of nature, isn't it?
