SummarySummary

[ edit ]
The universe is not a formless chaos, but informed matter, structured by laws. If there were no creative intelligence, it would have to be a magma of energy. The existence of these stable laws raises questions. Where do they come from? Aren't they created and maintained by a Creator God?

QuotationsQuotes

“Everything obeys laws: biology, physics, chemistry, even human sociology and psychology. Where do they come from? A law doesn't make itself, but is always established by someone. But who is above and beyond the universe to make its laws?”

Hubert Reeves.
