What’s the difference between “God did it” and “Nature did it”?

The latter statement excludes the supernatural.
TRUTH!! (Jesus IS The Creater!!)
no. because one is observed, and threw time, can be explained. while if we simply say, “it was a divine creator who did it”, we give up the persuit of knowledge and become ignorant and lazy.
wrong, it would inconclusive or unexplained.
but the most likely reason would be natural.
If God created the earth, couldn’t these phenomenons you speak of still have a scientific explanation? In other words, God created gravity and before we knew anything about it we could have assumed there was a scientific explanation for it as well couldn’t we? God created science.
Some supernatural events can be explained by science, but some can’t.
we can observe nature, and are sure that nature exists. We can not observe god, and are not sure that he exists. So nature is a better explanation because at least we’re sure it’s real.
Maybe try asking a Pantheist, they’ll tell you there is no difference.
Intention is the difference I think
God did it = Of supernatural origin, unobservable, not testable, without a shred of empirical evidence. Requires faith, i.e., belief without evidence (completely made up), and a human brain with misfiring neurons.
Nature did it = Natural, observable, testable, and reeking with evidence.
“God did it” doesn’t explain anything. It’s best to explain it through an example. Imagine a cake, you ask another person “How was the cake made?”, he answers, “The baker made it?”. Now here is the flaw, you asked HOW it was made not WHO made it, thus leaving your question still unanswered.
That is what scientists are trying to find out right now, on HOW the universe was made and works.
It depends if the person is a believer in God or not. Take Hurricane Katrina. Some say it was just a happen chance hurricane. Others may say that God caused it (or allowed Satan to cause it) due to the immorality and sin that is present in that city. I am a Geologist and my studies lead me to God, not away. To me, evolution is nothing more than God’s process of creation. Too many things have had to happen absolutely perfectly for life to exist on this planet and I also believe that there are things here on Earth that were put here specifically for our enjoyment. I also think there is an opposing force to creation, life and love. No one creates to destroy.
Nature is not intelligent and lives entire by the flow of jungle. “Do unto all as is done to oneself”. God is the ultimate intelligence and the only means of change and progress for all creation and existence. Science is a our use of our spiritual abilities and capabilities in conjunction with religion, which is the knowledge and adherence to God.
both conclusions are based on faith. However the supernatual/divine cause is that it happened due to god who caused it to occur where the scientific belief is that it occurred in a set order due to natural scientific parameters. Both are down to faith either a faith in god or whatever power you believe in or a faith in the fundamentals in science.
In saying that tho are they not pretty similar the “divine” reason is the practically the same as the scientific reasoning the only difference being that beyond the finality of the scientific answer/reasoning there is one more question why? which they put down to a simple “god willed it so.” where as for that same question the scientist comes up with a big nothing. its not that either reasonings are more wrong just that it comes down to the fact that how much are you willing to take on blind faith that has no concrete proof?
Nature did it or God did it both means the same “GOD DID IT”. But sometimes you may violate what God is going to do for you and you end up in disasters
Any answer will reflect the perception of the person answering, and this is colored by the degree of Knowledge that person has access to.
Relative to your question however, the strange thing is that if one understands Reality sufficiently, one realizes that there is nothing that occurs in the observable physical plane that is not sustained by a stepped-down energy projected by God, called in the West by the name “Word”, and thus, everything would fall into the category of “God did it”.
For those who lack this comprehension, they will likely believe in a separation of the physical and God, and they will therefore tend to deny what they cannot prove with their physical senses, and since they cannot prove Spirituality, they will lean toward “nature”.
How one views the physical plane depends entirely on where one is perched relative to the Ladder of Life, and how much Knowledge of Spiritual Reality one possesses. Most possess little so they tend to disbelieve in God and to believe in what they can see and think about.
Ones answer is therefore reflective of ones level of understanding of Reality. Far fewer have “faith” based on Knowledge than have faith based on hope. Hope often gives way when one is faced with something one cannot explain logically. So again, what one answers depends upon ones “Knowledge”, or lacking that, what one “thinks”.
Peace
oen can be studied and either validated or not, the other cant be
thats the difference
