Re: really frustrated
While both of you guys are absolutely correct, her argument to this could be that by equating god with nature, god is therefore obsrervable, testable, and falsifiable in that studying nature is studying god.
What's missing in this situation is a reasonable scientific explanation for why it becomes necessary, beneficial, or in any way logical to assign the label of *god* to what is being observed in nature. It is therefore relegated to a personal opinion. This has been explained in countless ways by numerous people.
Another reason why it is not acceptable to just simply allow the notion that nature is god to be cast about in this site is that it could have the effect of misrepresenting the authentic scientific position in the matter to the general public.
From the perspective of science, nature is not god, and will continue not to be god no matter how much someone wants it to be recognized by the scientific community as such.
What I find really frustrating is that this simple concept has to be reiterated ad infinitum.

It seems to me that people tend to prefer to believe what they want to be real or true, despite evidence to the contrary.
When what you believe is refuted by evidence, you are faced with a choice.
