Natural or Artificial?
"Natural and Artificial.” We hear and use these words a lot in our day-to-day lives: but do we know what they mean? Let’s put some definitions to the words in an attempt to get some meaning behind them.
Natural- existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind; coming instinctively to a person; innate.
Artificial- made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, typically as a copy of something natural not existing naturally.
To summarize: Natural- produced by nature; Artificial- produced by humans.
So then what is Nature?
Nature- the phenomena of the physical world collectively; the forces and processes that produce and control all the phenomena of the material world.
