I have regularly noticed people using words *"Nature, Natural"* to describe events, objects etc. Sometimes to denote contrast from *"Artificial"* origin, sometimes by atheists to refute *"Intelligent Design"* ideas, and sometimes to just convey *"its the way universe is"*. This ambiguous use seems confusing.

My question is: Is Nature the same concept as that of God ? If not, how are they different ?

Note : Question is not about theist's or atheist's beliefs, but about a better investigation of the relation(if any) between concepts of Nature and Creator(if any).
