alt Hacker NewsWe’re a product of nature, it’s mistaken to believe we are above nature or that nuclear weapons aren’t also part of nature.
We’re also very much dependent on nature and natural forces.
So everything we do is, even if many steps removed, still an act of nature.

Diamonds are also product of nature, but when we grow them in a lab they aren't often considered to be "naturally formed". It's just that the lab we used in this instance was part of the Jornada del Muerto.

This is a valid argument, albeit a pointless one.
We use the term natural specifically to distinguish between the.. natural and artificial.
A term like that is necessary.

With the influence of humans: artificial.
Without the influence of humans: natural.
There’s a useful definition for you. Otherwise according to your definition the term “natural” is completely meaningless and serves no purpose.
