What Is Nature Or What It?

As a young reader who is trying to understand how to look through the lens of nature, we must first define what nature is. Nature is a broad topic that can be defined by subtopics: geography, people, the human nature, natural law, etc. We can see such examples in Satan

In the Judeo- Christian creation myth, two versions of the creation of the world and humans are presented as one story. The priestly version of the Judeo- Christian creation myth explains that the world was created first, and only when it was perfected was man created. The Jehovist-Elohist version believes that man was created first and then the rest of the world to accompany him ( Thury and Devinney 54). This same complication is presented in the Native American creation myths. The “people” in the myth are not people at all, but insect like creatures. Introduction to Mythology explains this occurrence as one of two things: these insect creatures are in fact a “new and final creation of humans as we know them” or as a separate version of the same creation story being presented as one story although they do not fit together ( 104).Finally, the story of the Navajos can further be paralleled to the Judeo-Christian myth as both present in one version of their stories that the world was made and perfected before the introduction of the Humans to the world. While, in the other, The first humans were created first and then the perfect world was created for them to live

A Native American Creation Tale “How Man Was Created” tells a story of a Mohawk Indian known as Sat-kon-se-ri-io or the “Good Spirit.” The Mohawks believed that he produced all of the creatures

For thousands of years, scientists have tried to interpret the concept of creation. However, before people had access to modern scientific equipment, they told creations stories. A creation story is a myth that explains how and why the earth was made. A few cultures with differing opinions on creation are Europeans, Cherokee Indians, West Africans, and Hawaiians. Europeans tell the story of Genesis and God creating the earth in seven days and Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Cherokee Indians believe that the earth was created by a water beetle. In West African culture, they teach the Golden Chain story, and Hawaiians have the Kumulipo story to explain their beliefs on creation. Although each story follows a basic guideline, they all have distinct disparities.

Prior to diving into the many new insights that can be comprehended while viewing history through a natural lense, it is important to define nature in this context. While man is technically a creation of nature, and therefore nature himself, he shall be excluded from this brief definition of what composes nature. Here, nature will be considered everything living or otherwise on this earth that is not a creation or product of humanity. All other creatures and parts of the environment are to be considered nature.

Nature refers to the physical world including plants, land, soil, animals and other elements of earth. There is deep relation between Man and Nature so the effects on either one can hardly be treated in isolation. The Rishis and Munis of the past had a great amount of respect for nature. This respect was free from superstitions and was based on rational theology.

In the beginning of creation of humans, nature has always been there as a friend. Nature is the phenomena of the physical world that includes plants, animals, the landscape, and other features that are on earth. Nature has all of the wild and domestic living things. Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American poet that led the transcendentalist movement and influenced other through his ideas and thinking. Ralph wrote “Nature,” and he describes his true feelings toward nature and God and how they have taken part of what has been created and also the relationship to humans. Ralph Waldo Emerson writes the passage “Nature” and he uses comparison between humans and nature and also uses figurative language to convey his appreciation and gratitude for nature.

Our origin stories and religions today can be phenomenally similar to those of ancient Native American tribes. The Iroquois and Shawnee creation stories each have great similarities to each other and to the creation story found in the Bible. For the Iroquois, the world started as water and sky, filled with birds and fish. The creation story found in the Bible includes a day when the world was only water and sky, only with fish and birds to inhabit the earth. For the Shawnee creation story, “Together [Grandmother and her

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin”-William Shakespeare. The relationship between humans and nature is that we are a part of nature. As per the study of human evolution, scientists discovered a wealth of evidence that shows how closely we are related to the other primates. We humans are an animal species: primate order: mammalian class: vertebrate sub-phylum. The study of Human genetics gave a proof that we are connected to each other and also to other organisms which are part of nature. The Earth is a natural thing, with all earthly inhabitants originated on earth naturally, that means we as humans are natural.

All in all creation stories are a load of bull and should only be taken figuratively and read when discussing how they influenced the religion or culture. As in religion in general it is only a moral code to help humans make the right decisions and to have something to look forward to i.e. the afterlife which doesn’t really exist.

In Salinan Indian Creation Story, there are resemblances both to Greek mythology and to the Bible. The myth says, “When the world was finished, there were as yet no people, but the Bald Eagle was the chief of the animals. He saw the world was incomplete and decided to make some human beings. So he took some clay and

Nature is not altered by humanity and instead is pure, creating inspiration for people to be original. Nature is “the greatest delight which the fields and woods minister, in the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable” (Nature 221). People who believe in transcendence see the importance

In life we are all confronted with the idea of nature along with society. Although both have their pros and cons they work together to give us freedom and order among individuals.

Nature is the universe, with all its phenomena, the elements of the natural world. In society there are those individuals that have an intense connection with nature. William Wordsworth, a romanticist, pantheist and transcendentalist believed that the natural world was an emblem of god or the divine and his poetry often celebrates the beauty and spiritual values of the natural world. Chris McCandless believed that nature was the essence of freedom.

As for the definition of “nature”, western definition of nature is in its literal meanings embodied in wildness e.g. natural landscape and wild things, which is intact from human interventions, while unlike Western culture’s definition of nature, Chinese traditional culture emphasizes the coexistence between human and nature.
