Civilisation has spent millions of dollars on scientific discovery . Discoveries have been made in the areas of medicine , physics , astronomy , biology , agriculture and a hundred other fields , and these discoveries of how the world works have enabled us to use the information to our own advantage in providing medicine , food , satellite communications , smartphones and a million other advantageous things .
If just one law of physics changed , according to some whimsy , then nothing would remain the same because everything must adapt to the new circumstance . For example , if the law of gravity changed from 32 feet per second and became 25 feet per second , then much would change and we could no longer exist on the face of the earth . For our safety ’ s sake , the law of gravity must remain constant . Alternatively , if the sun were 25 % closer to the earth , we would not exist . Or , if F ( force ) were to equal 2ma instead of ma ( mass times acceleration ), then everything would have to be instantly re-engineered . We could never live in a world where the natural laws changed even once , let alone constantly , or even culturally .
Now , the same is true of spiritual law . Yes , there are spiritual laws . They represent the way we humans were designed to behave and relate to our Creator , Father . For example , “ Thou shalt not murder ” ( Exodus 20:13 ). If I decide to omit that law from my life and kill off someone , it creates all sorts of mayhem and adaptation for that victim ’ s family . Society tries to balance out the wrong by having the guilty party tried in a court of law , but the worst punishment possible is death row . However , that does not correct the situation because the original status quo cannot be retrieved for the sake of peace ( peace possibly being the arbiter of spiritual health ). A family is devastated ; a gifted person is missing and irretrievable . The potential legacy of that life is cut off , and the situation cannot be reversed to normal . The fact is that a sin has been committed . One can see the mathematical consequence of this just as one can see the mathematical consequence of changing the law of gravity
