What’s the difference between natural and man made? (lemm.ee)

Just something I was talking about with the wife this evening. She says that our house is not natural and used the phrase “out in nature”. But lots of animals build nests. And are we not animals just doing the same?

It's kind of a pseudo-religious idea, the whole 'natural is good and humans are not natural'.. Gaia is good, humans have sin, humans are made separate and rule over nature and are therefore not part of 'nature,' God's creation is perfect, all those ideas seem to have been merged into the dichotomy: there is nature and there is humanity.
