It’s very simple. Nature exists, and there are laws that govern nature; you’ve admitted this in regards to matter and energy, (which encompasses ALL of nature). However, those laws apply to all aspects of nature, including human society. Whenever man attempts to break those laws, it doesn’t lead to positive consequences.
Also, you fail to point out WHY I am ‘not making a good case.’ You raised an objection and I refuted it. If you still disagree, you’re welcome to refute anything I’ve said.

@kenp3L –
Like it or not, Natual Law is the foundation and premise of our entire nation. Question: Have you read any of John Locke’s works on the matter?? It would be silly for me to explain it to you when you have one of the greatest philosophers in the history of the world to read. Try “Two Treatises on Government.”
After you read that, let’s debate Locke’s theories.

@JeffroTheMan1 At this point, you are not making a good case for the existence of Natural Law. Your metaphors and analogies are, unfortunately, inapt. Better would be to write in a more technical style and carefully chose words that precisely state your opinion.

If I’m not mistaken, ‘laws’ in your second paragraph refers to the political definition, not the scientific. The principle is the same. There IS an objective ‘best’ set of man-made laws that is the most efficient form of government. All other sets of laws are doomed to failure, or less efficiency than is otherwise possible, because of Natural Law. For example, I can’t drink fourteen bottles of whiskey in two hours and survive; natural law doesn’t permit it. The same with man-made governments.

@JeffroTheMan1 You misunderstand my meaning. I agree that matter and energy can be carefully analyzed to the point that general rules can be developed that predict their behavior.
My objection is to the idea that any laws, or general principles upon which is base, are somehow set by nature. All laws and even principles that are widely accepted are man-made.

@kenp3L Natural Law doesn’t exist? Then how does the universe stay intact well enough for us to perceive it?
A is A; existence exists; the laws of nature exist to maintain nature whether we choose to believe so or not. That is what natural law is, the laws that govern nature, independent of our choice to accept them. Admittedly, Napolitano argues from a religious viewpoint, and I resent that; however, God or no God, the laws of nature apply to all who exist within nature.

@FreeTheNation Due to the awkward new formatting on YT, I do not know which of my messages you are replying to. It was four months ago, you know. I will simply re-assert that there is no such thing as “Natural Law” and that Napolitano, far from being the genius and hero as he has been described here, is simply blowing smoke that makes people feel good. Some people like beer, some like pot, some like to believe that Natural Law is a real thing

@kenp3L –
I belive that you are referring to what is being done to us and not the PURPOSE of law.
When I quote the PURPOSE of law, I am using the exact language of the founders, particularly Jefferson and Madison.

This is a reasonable request.

I think that at various times in his life he had doubts about the exact nature of God……like many of us may. I don’t really think that a particular “branding” of religion was all that important to ANY of the founders….just that one observed that there was a creator. Nevertheless, Jefferson rewrote the entire gospel of the new testament and translated it all from the orginal languages (of which he read and spoke fluently)…its called the Jefferson Bible.

@FreeTheNation ahhh..within the Hellfire Club & friends Mr Franklin’s nickname was “Moses”. He was forwarding Sir Francis Bacon’s book, “New Atlantis” agenda.. & if you think the Hellfire Club had anything to do with what your referring to as “God”.. you have some reading to do..

RP/Judge Nap ticket 2012! If we can elect a political girlscout that appoints know-nothing lawyers and bankers to foriegn policy positions, we can certainly put in a seasoned politician with a FLAWLESS record of fidelity to the American People and a man that can interpet the constitution in his sleep.

@FreeTheNation Not to argue, but I’ve heard that Jefferson was Deist. That is, he believed that a Creator created the universe, but that reason could tell people of it’s workings more-so than the Bible. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if his faith DID change throughout his life

@DoctorSkepticus –
BTW. What do you mean by “IF” ???????
It is well publicized that Jefferson IDOLIZED John Locke. Locke was credited for the very foundation of the concepts of Natural Law by Jefferson, Madison and the other founders. Jefferson just referred to him as part of the DIVINE TRINITY of the GREATES MINDS EVER PRODUCED in the history of the world.
Locke was worshipped by having a huge painting in Jefferson’s Home….next to the other two collosal geniouses…..
