That's presuming that in nature death and decay is less natural than life, and that man stands apart from nature rather than exists within it. Both midwit presumptions.

The problem is its very easy to merge nature with god in the examples we could give as theyre both forces outside our control that we submit to or combat. I guess the difference would be impartiality but the God in Man vs God novels doesnt seem to have a will and opinions anyways
