The druid said: “No God but Nature” The druid
Finn’s credo “No God but Nature” is the logical conclusion of a strict
naturalistic, procedural ontology. It does not deny God, but rejects all
supra-natural, artificial, or culturally constructed agencies. Whatever
merits the name “God” must be
identical with nature’s own lawful, blind, and automatic generative
procedure. In this view,
nature is sufficient, non-personal, generative rather than static, and
fundamentally quantised. All identifiable realities arise as bounded,
discrete, conditional events produced by a natural constraints (or rules)
set. Traditional (AI, meaning human invented) gods fail this context because a
transcendent creator is redundant, a personal God introduces non-natural
properties, and a supra-natural realm is procedurally non-operational. Such
gods are not false but unnecessary, but locally useful. Reinterpreted
procedurally, “God” names the universal rule-set
by which nature generates worlds, not a being with intentions or personality.
This position is not atheism but a rejection of anthropomorphic definitions
of God, retaining only the functional reality of lawful generativity itself.
The sacred thus relocates from heaven to every concrete iteration of nature:
each emergent is a local expression of the whole. Hence the druid Finn’s
allied minim, “Everyone is God in their space.” The credo follows inevitably:
nothing operates outside nature, nature already does all the work attributed
to God, and no extra
agency explains anything further. “No God but Nature” is therefore not
a belief or rebellion, but a diagnosis of how reality actually
functions. The druid said: “No
