Those laws have a governor and anchor holding the weaker force back. The strong nuclear force in physics demonstrates a parallel to the same demands of an invariant God. Laws are symmetric and invariable, just as the physical construct holding them in place. You cannot have unity held in place within a chaotic system apart from the force bringing unity and equilibrium to the system. We have learned nothing from quantum mechanics about the ability of the observer unless we also apply those laws above and below. Nothing can rise above its source.
A fountain rises above it's source doesn't it? So does a rocket. So does the hot air that comes from your mouth.
The parallels you draw here are just absurd." The foundation of moral behavior is rooted in the very invariant laws governing nature" is it? Is morality rooted in gravity? Does e=mc^2 have a deep moral meaning?
And what evidence are you basing the statement "Those laws have a governor and anchor holding the weaker force back."? What is this governor? Can you dmonstrate that this entity exists? And this 'weaker force' is what? And if it is weaker, what is stronger?
This whole post is just a bit of babble, it reminds me of the crap Deepak came out with; pseudo-scientific BS(the physicist in the audience rebutted him in a rather funny way) wrapped up in a complicated sentence structure and all of this masks your massive and unfounded assumptions. you want to be taken seriously? Back this up with evidence. Else, it is just a waste of the energy needed to power your laptop.
