I have no difficulty distinguishing from designed (i.e. man-made) from nature. I'm sure you don't either. What's different about nature is the endless waste and lack of purpose and inexplicable detours. In other words that it isn't designed.
Worshiping gods leads to nothing. Show one positive result from it---yes a demonstrable one. Assuming we must do it ourselves leads to many positive results. God who?
How do know that there is "endless waste" in nature? We don't know the purpose of everything in nature. We haven't discovered everything about nature. Positive, visible to the eye results of worshiping God, an be seen in the numerous daily amount of charitable activities motivated by a belief in God and our resulting service to our fellow men and women. We have free hospitals and clinics, homes for the needy and shelters for the homeless, soup kitchens and food banks, etc. Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge universities as well as most of the early American universities were founded as christian institutions.
