(November 6, 2013 at 9:37 pm)Jesus is Lord Wrote: The Universe that we can measure and observe is one ruled by laws and order. The very smallest elements which we can study have ordered forms, and follow laws which allow us to predict many, though not all behaviors.
Saying the universe is 'ruled' 'laws' is unjustifiably anthropomorphic. When scientists say that, they just mean that a given set of things behave in a predictable way in certain circumstances. And the idea that the universe is ruled by law and yet we can't predict all of it (some quantum events) is a contradiction in your post.
Quote:Order itself, law itself cannot exist on its own; it requires something of a higher order to give it. A legal universe requires God for its origin.
Okay, I'll play your game. What gives order to God? If nothing, then how can God act at all, much less with intention?
You trying to have it both ways: 1
