Nothing can ever be unnatural.

I shall begin explaining this by using humans as an example. Humans naturally come into existence. Humans have evolved naturally and in accordance with nature. Our intelligence is a natural result of this process. Therefore, anything that we do must be natural because something natural cannot possibly do something unnatural.

Even if we choose to do something that would appear "unnatural" it must be natural because it came as a result of our thoughts and intelligence which were naturally derived.

Discuss.

Damnit Kovich, it's unnatural for you to think this much.

Humanity has developed to a level in which it decides or moral grounds what is naturally acceptable and what is unnatural. What people do not realise is, upon seeing natural human behaviour at this angle, they are in fact making decisions within their own intellectual power as to what is right and what is just plain wrong (like a 30 year old throwing a fit on an escalator for example).

This decision making is perfectly natural.

kovich's right. even nuclear power is natural. natural of earthly natural environment? no. natural of another environment? yes.

I completely agree with Butler.
Why is it that when a bird uses sticks to build a house it's nature, but when humans build a house it's "industrial?"

Natural things have an effect of the environment, too, but we label the negative ones caused by humans as unnatural.

lets bring another label into this with Artificial. I think many people confuse unnatural and artificial. Artificial means anything that Man has made or brought into existence through the clever uses of Applied science.

Unnatural would probably be more of a perceived thing. To others I might be unnatural because of how I act or my preference to working on a computer rather then playing outside in humid weather during the summer. even though It's perfectly natural to me.
