Okay. But the nature of nature is nature. Nature is impersonal. All I know for sure about the nature of (the concept of) God is that God is personal.


Would you call "mother nature" impersonal?

We are going on the assumption that evil does exist and the nature of it and what nature itself is.

If evil did not exist neither would this post... Smile

You have set the bar low for spiritual mothers too then.

Why would nature have to be impersonable and unintelligent?

Evil is a perspective. Evil is what you make it to be. No-one can define "evil" for others, one can only define it for one's self.

Unintelligent, because "intelligence" applies to a thinker.
Impersonal, because... well, because Nature is not a person. (and neither is Father Time) Smile

I think that you are a person because you qualify as one...IMO

Why do you assume there is thought behind nature?

Natural law may evolve; I don't know. What do you mean by "reflect".

To you I'm a puppet. In my mind, I'm a person (and that's all that really counts......to me).

What would ever make you assume I think of you as a puppet?
