Nature And God

Nature is a latin word which means 'essential qualities'. very since from past human has closed association with nature. We had ancients texts which tells us about the world of nature. Every ancient book described its vital role . 

our ancient people were intelligent and they respect those who were beneficial for them. Their respect for the nature had coined the word called GOD. We have sun god aka surya dev in ancient hindu texts and many other mythological texts ancient Greeks , Egyptian mythologies. We had river, water, rain,forest,animal gods also. These gods were actually nature god when seen together. Our ancient people respect these natural god. They know if they overuse or exploit these natural gems , it will harm them too. They knew the consequences of nature exploitation. So to protect these natural source they made them GOD, If we know we have something which is more powerful and stronger than us, we will start respecting that thing, may be due to fear or in reverence. Possibly that's why ancient people shows respect to these nature gods in a way to protect nature. Religion and mythology both are related to science if one takes them precisely.
