A good read, highly recommended.

Nature's a really broad term! I suppose that the easiest definition of nature to argue is that it is the realm of the physical world - that which actually appears in front of us. "Natural," I believe, implies a sort of binary where "natural" is on one end of the spectrum and "synthetic" is on the other.

I suppose, if we attempt to define nature as "that which exists without humans," the human race has not been too good at putting its mark on Outer Space:

This is Brian Lula's picture of the Rosette Nebula, which wikipedia tells me is a "large, circular H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy."
