Were there pre-existing natural laws that governed the world?

[Wingz]

Did the universe already have pre-existing laws and limits that governed it or were they created by God?

For example.

A shape cannot be a circle and a square at the same time. Is this because God made it so or because there are limits to the world we live in?

Free will means the possibility to do evil. So would God not be able to create a person that has free will but also never does evil?

Matter and Energy must remain constant. Did God create the world through science or did he create science to create the world?

Where the elements that make up the world (periodic table) made by God or were they somehow already part of the world and God used them to create the world we know today?

If God created the elements then does that mean there were other possible ways God could have created the things that make up the world such as binary or something?

Did God create numbers or were they already a necessary part of the world?

I just thought it was an interesting question and wanted to see what others think.

I’ll let smarter people chime in but he did create Mary with free will and she never did evil.

ting question and wanted to see what others think.

Theories and laws are man’s best effort to describe and categorize what we observe and can understand at this time.

I see God’s role as about helping my spiritual growth, not creating a structure to understand creation itself. I think the Bible doesn’t teach any science because it’s not relevant to what the bible is trying to teach us.

I sidestepped your question, I guess.

Personally i don’t think physical laws existed before physical reality existed. Physical laws without physical objects is meaningless in my opinion. Physical objects behave according to the nature they are given and this is what we really mean when we talk about physical laws. Physical laws is simply a description of consistent behavior.

Of course, i believe God gave them their nature and thus the laws governing their behavior…
