What are the Natural Laws that God created?

               Natural laws are those scientific observations we see in the creation that ALWAYS are in effect and NO
               known exception has ever been observed.

                                             xiii
               So, what are some of these laws?

               The Law of Vibration.

               God created the universe so that it vibrates or moves or travels in circular patterns or motions.  Nothing
               is at rest and all things are made of energy.

               Law of Biogenesis


               This law states simply that life always comes from life.  Observational science tells us that organisms
               reproduce other organisms after their own kind and no exception exists.  So, to answer the proverbial
               question, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” the answer is God created a chicken and the egg is
               the process whereby the chicken reproduces other chickens! This law negates the idea of evolution or
               life coming into existence from non-life.

               The Laws of Chemistry
               God created elements of matter based on the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons that exist in
               an atom of that element.  These include oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and so forth.  These are the
               building blocks of all matter and life.  By combining these elements, God created compounds like water,
               air, and the DNA molecule.

               The properties of the elements and compounds are not arbitrary.  In fact, in high school, a student
               learns the elements God created in the form of the periodic table, organized by physical properties.
               Some are metals, some gases, some liquids.  The atoms and molecules of things have various properties
               because their electrons are bound by the laws of quantum physics.  Chemistry, therefore, is based on
               physics, which is based on mathematics.

               Laws of Planetary Motion
               The Law of Planetary Motion simply states that because of the existence of other laws (Law of gravity
               and Law of Motion), that the universe is in motion in elliptical orbits and that as a body approaches the
               focus of the ellipse, it speeds up.  It also states that the further a body is from the focus of the ellipse,
               the slower it revolves around the focus.  Isaac Newton discovered from these Laws (Kepler’s laws), that
               the laws of physics could be derived mathematically.

               Laws of Physics
               The Laws of Physics describe the behavior of the universe at its most fundamental level.  It describes
               how light moves through space, how energy is bound up in molecules and released, and how bodies of
               matter respond to other bodies.


               There are numerous laws of physics that govern all-natural law.  They are usually mathematical in
               nature and can be described by formulas, such as E=mc2.  The simple formula, F = ma shows how an
               object (m) will accelerate (a) when a net force (f) is applied to it.  Some of the laws of physics are not
