no, nature is just as affected by sin as we are. We have been given dominion over nature. Nature is the created thing, just as we are. It is nothing less than evil to worship the creation rather than the creator!

Read Genesis, in the bible the first words are: in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Noticed he created the heavens first??? I am native American, our culture as always thought of "GOD" as the Creator, the great Manitou where I come from up North Quebec. We are the Cree Montagnais tribe.
Everthing and everyone was created by the creator, the trees, the animals everything we needed was given to us by the creator. but it was very important that we owned nothing it belonged to us collectivelty. It is only white man that came up with the idea of owning land. It is to us as ridiculous as owning the clouds. When we picked berries for instance we always left some on the bush so the seeds would fall off and there would be more the next season. When we killed meat, we always left some for the wolves or other creatures to eat as an offering to the "Creator" so yes if you look at it my way all is god and all is divine.

The nature does make me wonder about it's perfectness, is that a word?, but I never thought of it as something divine...

Yes.
For those who consider nature-worship as satanic, I sure would like to see them live without the trees that exchange our carbon dioxide exhales into breathable oxygen. That is sooo evil.
What a bunch of nuts. Oh, wait, those come from nature too....
NOOO, we have not been given 'dominion' over nature. We have been given "stewardship." Very differing ideas there. A dominator gives no thought to the horrors being done, for it is their place to dominate and destroy, given their ends. A steward, however, takes care of what he has been given charge over. This is akin to saying that when you adopt a child, that child is YOURS and you can do whatever you want with it, given the dominion idea. However, wih a stewardship idea, you raise the child to the best of ability and provide for it, and love it; there is no difference in my opinion between an adopted child and nature. We are stewards of our environment, and are supposed to be loving stewards, not owners. The very idea of dominion over nature is ludicrous. How are you going to stop a hurricane? If anything has dominion, it is nature. We are subject to nature and what we have done with it. If we cut down every last tree to feed the fires of industry, we destroy life, and in doing, we destroy ourselves. If the hurricane destroys everything in it's path, how do we have 'dominion' over nature??? We DON'T. I am shaking my head right now. Please take heart to the answer from Tanzanite. This guy has it right. (Native American Shamanism.)

Nature is part of the Cosmos, which is as close to divine as could ever be defined.

I believe the answer to your answer is no. Gods creation is finite. Meaning it has limitations. The universe itself does not go on forever in space nor in time. His creation is separate from Him and not a part of him. But I believe He can reveal Himself through His creation. God Bless.

Nature is a lot more important to our survival than some imaginary psychopath.
To Justmyopinion:
It appears you have smoked one too many. You are responding on the wrong question. But, there is dispute as to the existence of Jesus. There is no credible evidence to support the claim he existed.
Or, is this one of those setups where you claim to have challenged me and I didn't respond?
