"Nature" only implies the factual verifiable universe and all its phenomena.
"Kingdom of God" presupposes a supernatural being.
"Nature" is a rational definition that implies no presupposition. It allows inquiry and experimentation to learn the real causes of natural phenomena. It implies understanding that is allowed to evolve and grow. Those that embrace the concept of nature foster knowledge and the growth of knowledge as a cooperative system of communication from multiple verifiable sources. Studying "nature" and trying to understand its operation has led to all the greatest advances in human endeavor.
God is an irrational assumption that has no basis in fact. It disallows any other belief, even when that belief is provable and proven. Fundamentalist believers say there is only one truth and disbelieve anything like evolution. They think that all answers come from a single archaic text. Some of mankind’s worst atrocities were committed in the name of God. Even today, believers revile scientific knowledge and insist that we not look into facts about nature, even when those facts can help prevent calamities or cure disease and suffering. As such, the “Kingdom of God” is an anathema to all mankind’s progress.
Calling nature a “Kingdom” implies that there is a king and that that king is beyond nature. Even if there were any evidence for such sweeping assumptions, such simplistic viewpoints are demeaning to the very intelligence that the supernatural king supposedly imbued us with. The “laws” of the so-called “king” can be easily broken, because they are not “laws” but rules. It is interesting to notice; Those who profess belief are often the most egregious offenders of the king’s rules.
Nature is different and superior in this respect too…
Nature is dispassionate and impartial. Its laws are laws of physics that cannot be broken.
Nature is real. We can learn from nature. Nature does not care if we examine her and share new knowledge. Operating from an understanding of nature promotes better living.
The “Kingdom of God” concept abhors inspection. Its rules are easily and often broken. We learn nothing new from the king or his kingdom. The king and his minions despise sharing new information. Operating within such beliefs often leads to great evil.

The kingdom of God is the rule of an eternal sovereign God over all creatures and things (Psalms 103:19; Daniel 4:3).
God is sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient and the ruler over all of His creation.

Hi! Having been raised Christian turned Agnostic, I believe they are one in the same. A christian would call it "Kingdom of God". One free from organized religion would call it "Nature". The phrase "Kingdom of God" is a spiritual symbolism. "Nature" is just pure existance....no symbolism attached. Hope this helps :)

The kingdom of YHVH is the place and time when He is in control completely. Satan is currently very high in the control order. Nature, in the beginning was very good. After the fall, it became corrupted, and must be made new.

Kingdom of god is the heavens, and nature is here on earth.

Nature would be his physical creation and the Kingdom would be the spiritual residence.
That is if you believe in a highly contradictory book that has no evidence to support it.

The "Kingdom of God" is fiction; nature, of course, is real.
