God explains the laws of nature

Keywords: Teleological argument, God, Complexity, Laws of nature.

Summary

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?

Quotes

« 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
