DOES MOTHER NATURE RULE THE WORLD
Monotheism
This depends on what God is. If we take one type of naturalism (see above) Pantheism then "God is the essence of all things, for He alone truly is". If the one God and Mother Nature are identical then Mother Nature does rule the world.
Assuming a belief in God as creator then no mother nature does not rule the world but is created by God. (Assuming of course that Mother Nature is not the one God you believe in). In Christianity Mother Nature is considered the agent of god in the moral order. There are Natural Laws which all must obey. If God is seen as the cause and creator of nature and its laws then that nature and its ‘laws’ depend upon Gods will which can presumably be changed by God, and indeed are temporarily suspended in the form of miracles.[1]
