%UNIVERSAL LAW NATURE GOD MORAL CODE CONTROL ADDICT 930428

     Scientists have discovered that it is possible to
describe how  impersonal objects behave in terms of what
are called universal  laws  of  nature;   e.g.,   Newton's
Laws   of Gravitation and Motion, Kepler's Laws of
Planetary Motion, the  three  laws of thermodynamics,  the
laws  of  Quantum Mechanics, the laws of Electromagnetic
Theory,  etc.  Such laws  describe.   There  is  no
evidence  that  impersonal objects  have  been trained to
obey  such  laws on threat of punishment if they  fail  to
obey.

     Some  non-scientists  have  been  impressed  with the
power   of  the   universal   laws   of    nature    which
scientists   have  discovered   to   accurately   describe
impersonal    objects'   relationships  with  each  other.
Considering  the use of the word "law"  in science  to  be
similar to the use of the word "law" in human legislation,
moral codes, ethical  codes and religious law---they  tend
to think that  there   exist  or should   exist  universal
moral  laws   to  govern/control personal human  behavior;
in  a  manner  parallel  to  the  way in which  there  are
universal laws of nature (which in fact only describe  how
impersonal objects interact  with  each other).

     Some people  who  have an   addictive tendency toward
being  preoccupied   with  issues of control,    and  with
being   in  control,  fixate upon the idea/ideal of  there
existing  good universal moral  laws   to   govern/control
personal  human behavior;  and presume that they know what
those  good  laws are,   and that  they have  been  chosen
(perhaps  by God)   to inform  others  of what those  good
laws  are,    and so  they seek to enforce the  good  laws
with   excommunications  and other forms of  punishment---
when  people  do not  conform to what the  good  universal
moral code demands.  They use their presumed knowledge  of
the   good universal  moral code as a means to distinguish
between  good  people and evil  people;  in  keeping  with
their having willfully eaten of the fruit of the  tree  of
the   knowledge  of  good  and  evil---in violation of the
first commandment of God in the Garden of Eden.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
