Which you noted

that's not necessarily profane

Based on what?

Predation as a consequence of leaving Eden?

An average Christian strolling through a safari seeing animals eating the carcass of other animals

Would see it as profane

I don't think they would

What about lice

Roaches

Spiders

the fuck are you talking about spider expert

called it

Christians aren't like Timothy Treadwell ime

Elephants destroying trees

Goats shitting out pebbles all over the place

Being exiled into the wilderness as punishment

i'm still not sure of your question

my neckbeard just grew another two inches, thanks lonegoat

Average Christians holding nature in a profane light

Death

is this the b-side to that averse sefira interview

Yes, I think Christians think death is unnatural and therefore profane

Death is a large element in nature

Therefore, most Christians see nature as profane

i think i read a book about this

by martin ain and thomas gabriel fischer

that is an inversion of the actual process and i daresay a deliberate one

you will not get my goat

Aquinas held nature as the same elevation of the divine

Most Christians don't see it this way

I don't think most Christians would be able to tell you much about Aquinas

save some ecclesiastical members

Let me investigate your claim however

god forbid

why would they want to?

Revelation

Thomas believed that truth is known through reason (natural revelation) and faith (supernatural revelation). Supernatural revelation has its origin in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is made available through the teaching of the prophets, summed up in Holy Scripture, and transmitted by the Magisterium, the sum of which is called "Tradition". Natural revelation is the truth available to all people through their human nature and powers of reason. For example, he felt this applied to rational ways to know the existence of God.

Though one may deduce the existence of God and his Attributes (Unity, Truth, Goodness, Power, Knowledge) through reason, certain specifics may be known only through the special revelation of God through Jesus Christ. The major theological components of Christianity, such as the Trinity, the Incarnation, and charity are revealed in the teachings of the Church and the Scriptures and may not otherwise be deduced.[104]
