i am definitely no expert as I'm in grade six, yet i think that it is artificial because the fire (natural as it is) is created by the chemical reaction when the box and match are struck together, therefor, quite unnatural in my opinion. You don't need to quote me on this, to gather your own opinion just think about if a match would work and even exist if we didn't exist either!
