How are G-d and Mother Nature different?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Sorry about my sexist stance, but I’ve never heard of a Father Nature. I mean, who impregnates Mother Nature? G-d doesn’t have to be a Biblical/Qur’ānic being. The irreligious can believe in a god. Many hold that G-d created the Universe. Ain’t Nature responsible for that? Can one equate G-d and Nature?

That's like asking how a soldier and serial killer are "different". If you don't know, then you shouldn't be asking the question as your education isn't further enough along yet.

The term "mother nature" doesn't mean it's a person, or even a biological entity. Even though that is where it came from, the Greek myths of Gaia. But in modern English, it's the caring and nurturing aspect that is seen as "mother".

As for God, It's a title, not a person, and you have to be a special brand of stupid to think as you are. Also, religion cannot be science, and science cannot be a religion.

As a Muslim, I’m aware that G-d is no name or person. He’s no male or female. Maybe you mean by science (systematised knowledge or a branch of it) natural science (biology, astronomy, chemistry, physics, and possibly maths). However, other sciences do exist. They may not prove, but at least they theorise! History, religion, language, &c are sciences. ‘Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.’ — Albert Einstein

Also Einstein: “The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”

@slatyb also Einstein: Knowledge is limited to what We know and understand. The difference between genius and stupidity is that the former has its limits.

That's only one important question. Do religious practices being any benefit? That's no evidence that they do.

[strateguy632]

as if lack of evidence can "prove" anything.

[slatyb]

@strateguy632 See Russel's teapot. In the absence of evidence, I'm taking no action.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Have religious practices to do with anything?

[slatyb]

You tell me. As far as I can tell they are a waste of time.

There is no Mother Nature. There is only The Creator.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Who is meant by the saying of Mother Nature, whether she’s real or not?

[Dargil]

In case you missed it: There is no Mother Nature. There is only The Creator.

oh there's a very big difference. god is just a fictional being based on nothing. mother nature is an anthropomorphized (so also fictional) view of the actual real world.

mother nature interprets a sentience into the flora and fauna of the real world. god interprets a sentience into nothing.

[Berethor]

Mother Nature is a Personification of Nature, God is more Supernatural in comparison. :)

[strateguy632]

the difference is does nature have desires and plans or give instructions, if god is real those are the differences

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Actually, I doubt it does have such desires or plans or give instructions. Many faiths have commandments.
