The founding of the US was based primarily on the philosophy of Natural Law.

Natural law is a philosophy that certain rights or values are inherent by virtue of human nature and universally cognizable through human reason. Historically, natural law refers to the use of reason to analyze both social and personal human nature to deduce binding rules of moral behavior. The law of nature, being determined by nature, is universal.

Natural Law is even cited in the Declaration of Independence.

All religions are born of man and the values inherent in human nature anyway.
So really, Christianity is just a reflection of natural law, as is US law.

Well said.

"And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." - T Jefferson

I was right.

Jesus didn't come to form a religion. He disliked religions. Following Jesus and following Christianity are 2 different things. Following Jesus is not a reflection of natural law. It's a reflection of God's law.

Providing that there is a god of course. Still looking for tangible evidence that there is.

proving there is.

proving there isn't.

science calls it intelligent design.

yet, if you seek him, you will find Him.

If your heart is open.

And your mind, to the possibility.

Or you could find Allah

or Elohim

or Ganesha

or Buddha

or Rah

or Viracocha.

"science calls it intelligent design."

no that's not a science thing, that's religion.

The "Theory of Intelligent Design," is a "Scientific Theory." Just like, "The Theory of Evolution." Both Theories. Both Science. Check 4 uself...

Intelligent Design is no way a scientific theory Sandi

It postulates a supernatural explanation for natural phenomena.
It is not based on the scientific method.
It is not testable.

Belief in a higher being is a personal, not a scientific, question.

actually, "The Theory of ID," is considered Science.
It meets all the necessary qualifications, as does the "Theory of Evolution."

However, believing in a creator, is not science, it's simply belief. The same holds true for believing in evolution. It is not science. It's simply a belief.

Google away mate.

I guess you don't know what science is.
not surprised.

that doesn't sound too scientific to me.

we've fallen down the rabbit hole. this is trivial persuit. what would have happened if we took the blue pill?

a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

have nice day, scientifically speaking...

"The theory of ID. It's considered by most scientists, as science. The theory meets all qualifications for science. "

absolutely false.
