Nah, they're not the same thing in the world of MTG. When you sacrifice a creature, it's a choice you're making, usually to trigger some ability or meet a condition. Dying, on the other hand, happens when a creature's toughness is reduced to 0 or it's destroyed by a spell or effect. So, sacrificing is a control move you make, while dying... not so much.

Totally different! Sacrificing is a strategic move, dying is just bad luck or poor planning.

Gotta disagree with the crowd here. Sometimes sacrificing a creature is the same as it dying for your grand strategy. Like, if you've got a card that says 'whenever a creature you control dies, do something cool,' then sacrificing it triggers that. So it can kinda be the same, depending on your deck.
