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 God but Nature” (analysis) “I
worship Nature vs. “I am Nature” The
‘temple’ as reference frame The ‘temple’
as reference frame in the Vedantic context Every
identifiable reality as a ‘temple’ of the Universal Procedure “Everyone is
God in their space” The druid Finn also said: |
