This is silly, words have multipule meanings, get over it.
When you argue against this you do so for the sake of arguement, you know just fine what someone means when the say "hydrogen bombs are unnatural", you seem to be implying that they mean that the object cannot exist or is supernatural in some way. Some things are indeed "natural" by your definition, such as hunting, but most of the time the word is not used in reference to hunter/gatherer skills.
The difference between a beaver dam and a human dam is that we have the ability to access its impact on the surrounding enviornment and species. Humans are unique in that they can be creative for the sake of creativity, we know the new things we try may be detrimental and therefor have some duty not to destroy with our endless creative abilities. |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |
