I believe in One God, the maker of Heaven and earth, etc…

The following is a different way of saying natural law.

The laws of the physical world are observed by human logic. So, too, are the natural laws of ethics.

Logic is also correct in the area of ethics.

Example, one can easily see that sobriety is logical and drunkenness is illogical.

Any mind altering substances cause us to be illogical.

Example, two loving parents are better than dropping a child off at an orphanage.

So, sobriety is better than drunkenness, and love is better than deserting one’s child.

These are truly enlightened ideas and this is accomplished by our ability to reason. They are logical.

Concerning the logical arguments for a being(s) making this planet, it is clear that earth filled with life is made and beautifully designed by some powerful being(s). The being(s) must be way above our intelligence.

The complexity of a giant red wood, to the largest whales, to the human being and all of our powers, point to this or these super being(s). (I will now just try to say beings.)

Also, the beings that made us might have been made by other even more superior beings.

Also, the beings that made us may passed out of existence. If they were made by other beings, those beings could have not become extinct.

The creating beings could be limited to the physical and spiritual realms to which we are limited.

They could even have “children” or descendents. The fact that there may be development of life, perhaps this is a series of many generations. That is, maybe that which some think is evolution is in fact similar to the primitive cars compared to the jets and rockets of today.

These ideas are more logical than saying, all of the logic that we discern in the physical world happened by chance, mutation, chaos, and accident.
 
The natural law is more of a moral law that all humans possess. Most instantly think of Darwinism or evolution, but it is more of a moral law that governs humans, therefore that’s why there is a common bad and common good.😃
 
Logically, using our human logic and emotional disposition, it is obvious that all that is around us is highly designed and orchestrated. To logical people, any logical being that designed this world would reveal Himself to us. Therefore it makes total logical sense that God has revealed Himself to us–He would want to be known so His creatures would benefit from their knowledge of Him.
 
I really believe these ideas are save and solid.

I cannot imagine ignoring the wisdom that fills the world around us.

I cannot imagine ignoring the logic or super-logic of the world.

I can only imagine that the Being that made all of this wants to be our loving friend.

He wants us to love our children so we are happy.

He wants us to love our Creator so we will be happy.

He wants us to love His creations, like an artist loves her art.

ETC…
