What’s the difference between natural and man made?
What’s the difference between natural and man made?
Just something I was talking about with the wife this evening. She says that our house is not natural and used the phrase “out in nature”. But lots of animals build nests. And are we not animals just doing the same?
You're viewing a single thread.
The Grand Canyon is natural. Shit just happened over millions of years. Mt Rushmore is manmade.
Central Park is man made. It was a city, then they evicted people and turned it back into greenery. The Amazon (what hasn’t been cut down to make cheap land for animal feed due to our soaring demand for beef) is natural.
Is a beaver dam natural to you?
I’d call it beaver-made. It’s not naturally occurring, no
Does that mean you only include non-organic processes in your definition of Natural?
The oxygen in our atmosphere is not natural using this definition. The entire biosphere is not natural using this definition. The Grand Canyon exists in part due to the organic erosion of rocks by lichen etc....
