Okay , so.... Seeing that we can't actually be certain about anything we "know"... Let's give the school system the benefit of the doubt that everything they teach is correct and factual.
So idk about you, but what ive learnt is that the natural elements are water, fire, earth and air (oxygen)... We've also been taught that man in his primitive days somewhat " discovered" or ''created" fire, right?
Now look at this;
We've also learned and life has also implied that anything that is man made can in no way be natural... Correcto?
(Remember we're assuming these statements are true) Now think about it, if man" made" fire, why is it that fire is considered a natural element?
And for my religious folks, I can't recall seeing where God created fire in the bible (it says he made the sea and the heaven and the earth right?) So if fire isn't god made then... How is it natural for real? :/
I think water air and earth are the only "natural " elements that exists....
Eveything natural has a purpose of promoting life, look at water - our bodies are made mostly of water and so is the planet earth, life eh?
Look at earth itself - which promotes life by growing plants, and as the christians say, we come from the earth.. Life eh?
Look at air (oxygen) which is fundamental and critical for all life form to survive. (Except the water bear, idk wtf is that, lol)
This is why I also consider fire an unnatural element, seeing that it is the only one of the four that has a destructive nature and I think this is due to it being a man-made resource.
Think about this and leave a comment.
