If God gave us the laws of the universe then why did he formulate those laws the only way they could work? What choice did he have, the universe can't work any other way.
The term 'laws' as used to describe the function of the universe is a misnomer, a better term is properties, or constants. If those constants were anything other than what they are the universe would not exist.
Pi, 3.14159. How can that number be anything other than what it is? If a denizen of Andromeda were to divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter they will have 3.14159.
The second
law of thermodynamics states that the temperature of a glass of hot water and a glass of cold water placed in a perfectly insulated container (a closed system) will reach equilibrium. And this applies to every one of those galaxies you see in the Hubble deep field images, most of them billions of light years away. No god required.
Miserable Bastard.
