Maybe so. It seems to me that we have to learn to deal with nature's rules first, and sort out all of our differences about what we think God's rules are later.

I know that E-man would consider God's rules and Nature's rules to be identical, nature being God's creation and all that. Seems to me that most people could come to a similar understanding on this.

Dr Zaius. Did you get my apology? I publicly apologize to again here and now. I am very sorry for what I said. I should not have said it. I was completely out of line and just got carried away. I am a weak human but I promise you I will not do it again. Please accept my apology. I am deeply sorry to have offended you and beg your forgiveness.

I guess so. But people then transfer worship to nature and become pagans and make God jealous and angry.

I accept your apology...of course. It takes big person do do so and not many are willing. There is really nothing to forgive as they were just words. While words can hurt....they, after all, are just words.

I would have responded to the message but it is a comment to my profile and not a PM and I did not see a reply button.

I don't think God would be angry or jealous at this, after all, nature is the only vestige of God we are allowed (presumably by Him) to see.

The anger and jealousy we see in the Bible is really man's, not God's. We put our words in his mouth. It's blasphemy, I know, but that's what we did...

But still, you make a good point. It will be hard for people to come to a common understanding of our situation without questioning some of their most sacred beliefs.

Our emotions came from God and we pervert them by being devilish. But God IS a jealous God. And rightly so I believe. Someone gives a cat or a cow credit for existence and sustainability when God is the author.

An atom is not a perpetual motion machine. God recharges atoms.

What? God can't create a perpetual motion machine?

It IS perpetual because he recharges it.
