The big oceanliner that couldn't.

The Titanic was a marvel when constructed.  It was huge and said to be unsinkable.

This was man's attempt to hold back the forces of the ocean, and it was foiled by man's attempts to steer the ship.

Just like the failed Titanic expedition recently, men once again deemed to defy the forces of nature, and once again, nature triumphed over man, as several people were tragically killed in the failure of the expedition craft.

We say not that "God is Nature", because that is a heresy called pantheism.  The Bible clearly states that God created nature in those first six days, and at best, just like man is made in the image of God, so is nature, some presume, made in the image of God, to an extent.

Therefore, just like elements of man, presumably the best elements of humankind, reflect something of the Creator; so too in nature is something of the Creator reflected force us to partake and revel about.

It was God that held back the Red Sea for the Hebrews, and some explain how nature could produce wind forces that do that very same thing, but whatever mechanical explanation, the work of God, as the Bible declares.

Let us remain humble in the face of Nature, and be good stewards to the land, air and water, all the while not forgetting the awesome power of nature and all the forces it can muster.
