Rather open ended question, but yes, i do think that nature is god, or that god is nature. I reallydon't distinguish god from creation, nor creation from god. everything is. that's it. it simply is. And its purpose is simply to be. In my opinion at least. But that is not the same as being purposeless, which many people interpret it as...and i do believe that everything is random, how things came into being, why you meet up with an old friend, but that's not to say that the randomness isn't important. In fact, I think that it is the most important determining factor in life that gives everything meaning. the significance of randomness. The order of chaos. Nature is both chaotical and yet very structured. Every aspect of nature can be predicted and the number phi shows up in every living organism. physics can explain everything. Nothing is random, then out of the blue, there's an earth quake. Boom, no warning. Predictable? No. Yet it is still proved that nature IS predictable, so which is it? I prefer controlled chaos. There are a set of rules that are put in place that nature follows, but rules can be bent and even broken. Look at mutations, look at quantum physics. They go against the natural order, yet the natural order still exists and it still manages to maintain its government over existence. I think that's what god is, the meaning in the randomness, the chaos in nature, the order to which all things adhere (even in mutations, and the unexpected), the beauty and massive expanse of the universe, the miracle of life, that can be put into such simple terms, yet we still can't take nothing and make it something, let alone a living organism. I think there is a purpose and order to life, and that the order can be found in the chaos. I think the purpose is simply to be. I think God simply is.

The thought has crossed my mind before, but then I think, well if nature is god then are people also god? How do you define 'nature?' And would that make the rest of the universe also god? When I think that way I get more questions than answers. But ya, I think god is more than 'some guy.'

Nature is all I know, but we can agree that nature is comprised as so many different things. Perhaps God hides behind a tree when the sum of all nature continues.

No, man can destroy nature. God is untouchable.
God means all powerful, nature is not this.
It is nothing new to create your own God that fits your desires. Man has been doing that for centuries. However it is my belief that there is only one true version of God. He is not just some guy. He is omnipotent, but has shown himself as a singular being from time to time. He is more than what you suggest.

God is love, if you can grasp that meaning and then relate it to nature, then maybe He is. God is an entity that is so amazing that nothing can even discribe it. Nature is something that God set up for us. He set it up for us, His children. But then, from another perspective, God is everything and everwhere so if your talking about his omnipotency, then yes God is nature. By my means, nature is something that nuorishes, loves, cares, and knows what true wrath is, it can also be cruel to the ones who throw it out of the way. Metaphorically, nature is God.

God is nature.

How could nature be God?? Nature couldn't have created the complex cells and stuff of people and animals. Nature couldn't have created millions of different types of plants and animals. Nature can't work miracles like Jesus Christ can.

Perhaps.
The term "god" is something dependent with our convention or declaration. For instance the Jesus Christ as a God to almost all Christians, but some Christians did not classify him as god and it is a fact.

Great question, so STAR for you. In my opinion, all of nature including all of us are part and parcel of whatever god is. Why does there need to be any separation? We humans are the ones who with our limited intelligence and vision create differences.On that note I rest my case, and I don't think there's a guy ( in our sense) involved, anyhow.

God is way more powerful than nature
