Nature's Laws

[robvalue]

An organism reproducing, or blood clotting, are natural processes. We can look at them and come up with a "purpose", in other words a description of what the process "achieves". But it's really no more than describing it. We're assigning a kind of narrative, and it's easy to get carried away and think that narrative is somehow inherent to the process itself. To put it bluntly, shit happens. As humans, we look for patterns. If stuff didn't work that way, it would work another way.

And yes, if a society decides certain people have no rights, then under that society, those people have no rights. That doesn't mean it's a fair decision, or that other people would agree with it. You can say what rights they should have, but if they aren't ever being respected, they're nothing but wishful thinking.

As for prophecies, even if the bible did actually predict some things accurately (it does not) then all that would mean is the authors got some things right. It says nothing about how they knew, or about whether anything else in the book is true.
