God Made Us – But What About Nature?
To answer this question, it helps to know the difference between a “tool” and a “builder”. Let’s use the example of a book being created.
When a book is created, although it looks like the book is being written by a pencil, the pencil is not the actual “builder” of the book, it’s only the “tool” that was used. The actual creator of the book is the mind of the human, and the mind is invisible. In other words although outwardly it looks like pencils and hands make book, they aren’t the things that actually wrote the book, they were only the tools used, the actual thing that created the book was the invisible mind of a human that chose to make the hand and the pencil move in that way to form letters and then words and then sentences and a book.
Because people can’t see God’s spirit directly (He’s a Spirit!) and they can only see what God creates, sometimes they think that the tools He created (like nature) are the actual thing that created us! But this is not the case.
Nature is only the “tool” that God built to make His will happen in the physical world, it’s not the actual “builder”. The actual builder is far more powerful and is invisible, the same way that the actual builder of a book is the powerful and invisible mind – not the mindless pencil.
It’s impossible for a pencil to write a book on its own, because it doesn’t have a mind or intelligence so can’t write books that contain knowledge. Similarly, it’s also impossible for nature to create living animals and humans on its own, because nature doesn’t have a mind or free will or intelligence to be able to put those powers into humans. It’s just the tool.
Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator….Nature is God's Will and is its expression in and through the contingent world - Baha'u'llah
I hope that makes a bit more sense now, but if you would like some more explanation that nature is only the tool, and on its own cannot build humans, the same way that pencils on their own can’t write books on their own, you can read this chapter from the book “Some Answered Questions” by Abdu’l-Baha, who was the son of Baha’u’llah (the founder of the Baha’i Faith) and a very wise person. He explains this in detail here
