Sure.  For humans, their species is the most interesting part of the story.
In the sense of  "Why is there something rather than nothing?", Nature
"is" - man narrates.

Elements of  man-perceived "is-ness", such as matter and gravity, light,
positive and negative charges, quantum waves etc.demonstrate "order".  Is
order only in the perceiver or in the phenomena perceived?

Is order "intelligence", only in human brains, which are as much part of
Nature as light and sound and matter?  Did Nature do math before humans
arrived?

Can Nature make gods without man's participation?  Why not?
