Natural Law

If Nature appears to obey certain laws (of Thermodynamics, for example), then surely, so the Theist argument goes, there must have been a Lawgiver. I contend that such "laws" do not dictate or direct Nature's behavior; rather, that they are clever contrivances of Man to describe Nature's behavior, the ultimate causes and origins of which remain unknown and perhaps unknowable.

What bothers me most about religion is not that it doesn't provide all the answers, but that it does.
