The Law of Equality
Season 4 Podcast 13 “The Law of Equality Pt I”
One thing we can always count on is law. Law gives order to chaos. Those who argue against intelligent design appear to ignore law. How can law be accidental? How can laws emerge out of chaos? Law creates order out of chaos and preserves, perfects, and protects that order. Even science, which is entirely dependent upon the absolute nature of law, does not address where laws come from. To say that laws self-exist poses enormous existential problems.
It is astonishing that some of the greatest minds on our planet can be blind to the necessity of intelligent design. They will accept any theory as long as it leaves out the possibility of God. Intelligent design is the only explanation that accounts for the organization of natural and physical laws.
Science cannot explain the existence of law. Somehow they magically emerged from the Big Bang. No accident has the power to create one law, and yet we don’t even yet know the number of laws that exist. Then there is the problem of the complex organization of laws. The only explanation is that all laws are governed by a single law. If laws fought against laws, then order could never come out of chaos. How many levels of laws are there in the world of physics, chemistry, and biology?
Science, of course, recognizes that everything is governed by law. Without law science would have no reason to exist. They may as well be alchemists, astrologists, necromancers, magicians, or conjurers. They spend all their time trying to discover and understand and use law. That is our primary debt to science. The world is a better place because of science.
All laws have conditions. The conditions are the cause. The conditions must be necessary and sufficient for the effect to occur. Law such as gravity has the power to organize and govern the elements. Laws must be absolute. We choose the conditions of law giving us freewill, but the effect or consequences of the law choose us. They are automatic. The fact that laws have conditions is the greatest evidence of intelligent design there is. It is irrefutable evidence. If laws were self-creating and unconditional there would be no freewill. We would all be parts in a cosmic machine that went on forever. God organized laws to give man agency and freewill. Stephen Hawking said that because of law we cannot have freewill. He has it wrong. Only because of law do we have freewill. But Mr. Hawking denies intelligent design. Without intelligent design, where can you go but accidental universe and nihilism?
To understand the significance of the theme of this and the following podcast, I want to emphasize the necessity of law as it relates to liberty. Fundamental to existence is opposition. The two great opposites are order and chaos, law and lawlessness, freedom and captivity. Laws, of course can be classified infinitely, but by necessity I shall deal only in very broad strokes.
There are temporal laws that govern all temporal worlds. A temporal world, by its nature, is subject to time and time means entropy where things move from order to disorder resulting in death to all life forms and chaos to non-life forms. That is the primary world of science, and it is truly astonishing and endless. We have physical bodies; therefore, we are subject to the laws of nature where for every birth there is a death. Law alone governs the balance of nature. Science cannot explain how that phenomenon occurred. Evolution cannot account for law. Evolution is governed by law; evolution does not govern law. By the very definition of the scientific method any scientific argument about origins is based on opinion because they cannot recreate it. My problem with theoretical science, as exciting as it is, is that they often claim scientific authority where there is none.
