Exploring the Origins of Nature's Laws

One steadfast law of nature we know is that our universe cannot contain more or less matter than exists. The amount of matter and energy is absolute. They can change forms but never their quantity.

No additional matter can appear beyond what exists. This raises a significant question... How did the vast quantities of matter and energy come to be if the universe cannot receive even one extra drop from nothing? Logically, something cannot create itself from nothing.

Similarly, one understands that existence cannot create itself. There must be a Creator who is not physical. If the Creator were physical, the Creator itself would need to be created, leading us back to the same question—who created the Creator, and so forth.

The Creator is an unknown force, not necessarily physical. Yet, how do we rationally exclude the Creator from the question of 'his own beginning'? A rational inquiry starts with the Big Bang, an eruption of energy from a singular point. What came before that? When time was zero, what was before? This question cannot be asked since before the Big Bang, time did not exist. Time was created with matter and energy.

Time is a physical concept. The Creator is beyond matter and time; if not, a beginning would be necessary, just like for us. Time defines past, present, and future. Therefore, the Creator has neither beginning nor end. Only something beyond time does not need creation and can create time. Our intellect is limited in understanding what exists beyond time. We cannot comprehend infinity because we live within the boundaries of time.

As we cannot ponder the Creator's end, we cannot question the Creator's beginning since the Creator has no beginning. The Creator is not bound by time, hence limitless by it, without start or finish, unlike our reality which does have beginnings and ends. Because the Creator is infinite, the Creator must be one and not more.

The Creator is singular, with none before or parallel to Him. Infinity encompasses all, with nothing to add (infinity plus a constant or another infinity remains infinity), so even if there were another, it would be part of the Creator, meaning there is just one. This is why the Creator is above nature's laws, which the world is limited by. Any natural theory cannot stand. There must be something above time that led to the creation of matter and energy, as well as nature's laws. The Creator's actions are visible even post-initial creation.

Every law has a legislator, and sometimes the reasoning behind a law is unclear, yet the law is enforced and observed. There are also other types of laws—nature's laws. If nature's laws exist and are reality as we know it, then clearly, there is a legislator for these laws governing our universe. We cannot ignore this and claim 'it always was' because it was not just so.

Nature's laws were created as rules by which matter and energy behave. Without these laws, chaos would prevail, complete disorder and void. Our universe operates under these natural laws, and by doing so, it sustains its form. There must indeed be a legislator. And these laws, surprisingly, enable the existence of suns, materials in different states of matter, and an order that allows our very existence. The precision of these natural laws suggests that the legislator is intelligent.
