There are lots of things that nature creates. What about forests that spread just by planting seeds all around their edges? Mountains are created by the movement of tectonic plates, islands are formed by erupting volcanoes.If God is not creator of this universe, universe is the creator of it/himself. Either way, we have some that has existed always, or created it/himself. Personally I don’t think material has any ability to create anything, so if world exists without God, it must have been forever. And by what I have read and seen, I don’t think it is possible that universe would have existed eternally, because all things in nature seem to go to direction which is destructive. Human genome seems to be degenerating, materials get weaker by erosion and atoms seek state that needs less energy, which means for example that iron rust away. Nothing in this world seems to be creating/building force, except maybe humans.
In my opinion it is just not reasonable scientifically to assume that natural world could create itself from nothing or exist without God. However God is different thing, because according to the Bible, God is spirit (John 4:24). Spirit has no known limitations, therefore He is more plausible.
And if we look out in space we can find these things too. Nebulae are just baby stars that form solar systems just by using gravity. After a star goes supernova, it creates heavier elements that allow new things to be created as well.
And some things are created just by a cycle of things as well. Think about the Grand Canyon. A river ran through it and created it by carving it, and then ran back into the ocean, and then the ocean poured back into the mouth of the river. We may just not understand where all the matter and energy go after it all seems used up.
