Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Pamho, agtSP! Sometimes we hear the argument that in this world there are laws (physical laws), and since we know that wherever there are laws there's also a lawgiver, then we can conclude that there must be a lawgiver behind the laws of the universe. However, I'm not convinced about this argument, since there's a very big difference between human made laws (laws about for example moral and about regulation of human behaviour, like laws about traffic regulation etc.) and physical/natural laws. The first one are prescriptive (they tell what you ought to do. And you can choose to disobey them) whereas the others are descriptive (they describe how the physical universe operates. And you can't break these laws (at least not in the same way.) This is usually how the atheists protests against this argument, and I must admit that I think they have a good point, but I would like to hear some of your thoughts, since you might have some insights in this that I haven't. Thank you very much! Ys, AKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
