Interesting. That almost to me, seems like you're leaving out a part of what it is. When I do that, I cannot differentiate myself with the two. When I think of what it is, I think it is a creation, and thus who made it.. I get that immediate connection. It (nature for example), is simply too beautiful, too complex, too perfect to just be something that is basically nothing, just something that is and sporadically popped up with no significance.
