What Happens When God is Nature?

[theophilus]

Both the atheist in the first story and the man who had faith in God failed to recognize that the natural events they observed were the result of God's actions.

But why is that God? Or if it's merely nature and nothing more, why call it God? If you go around calling Nature "God" all the time, people might think you believe in a supernatural deity as opposed to merely nature. So it's rather misleading. Better to just call nature "Nature" really.

God created nature and its laws and normally acts through natural events that don't conflict with natural laws and processes. He isn't bound by or limited to those laws and sometimes acts outside of nature. These actions are the ones which are usually called miracles. But most of the time he carries out his will by natural events and nothing happens that he doesn't permit.
