There were men wiser and more learned than you will ever aspire to be, founders of the most advanced military power to destroy -- and also to spread democracy, they talk about the laws of nature and nature's God.
You always talk gratuistously; think where do the natural processes come from, and keep in mind that the vast majority of scientists tell us today that the universe has a beginning in time and in space, so that if you again say gratuitously without thinking -- but of course you will drop the line again that it's just that you don't understand (shade of argument from ignorance?!), that they the natural processes come with the universe, but you have to add: however the vast majority of scientists today tell us that the universe has a beginning in time and in space, wherefore so also the natural processes.
Please do not write, first put your thoughts in order: so that every line you commit to writing has support from facts and logic.
