What is natural law, lkingpinl?
The natural laws that govern the universe and its properties, that are testable and repeatable. As I mentioned, the current presumptions and hypotheses presented for the beginning of the universe (most notably by Hawking) require the breakdown of the natural laws and that is why I call it "supernatural". Now granted, it is of course conjecture, postulating unknowns, but the current best theories out there can be defined as supernatural by it's mere definition.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
