Material Nature

1. 6th Day

If Law is to be consistent and unequivocal there must be a basis that is unchangeable: a framework within which laws could operate. Law is sovereign and absolute.
No life form can be said to be equal to the task since life forms are changing and corporeal.

Matter is the substance of which physical objects are composed. It constitutes the observable universe. Laws, which we associate with universe are unchangeable.
But is matter consistent? Dark matter, anti-matter and the whole gamut of fundamental particles like quarks and leptons, these are dimensionless points. There is a tendency to regard manifestations of energy, such as light and sound, as not being material. However in physics the distinction is difficult to enforce. According to the theory of relativity matter and energy can be converted into one another. (ack: wikipedia)
If changeable how it could be qualified as absolute? In order to get on with my point let me say thus: Material nature that allows matter to hold different states, which is observable is an absolute. Howso? It governs energy that cannot be created or destroyed. For the time being I shall rest the sovereignty of Law, Divine or otherwise onto the Material Nature. Material Nature is sovereign because Law is enforceable since energy will be expended or gained. ( Every action has a reaction that is equal: Such a fundamental simpleforward law must transact with energy, as small bills of exchange.)
Tailpiece: Law requires muscle, and how it could be held up as divine if God ( to use a familiar term) did not have the Will or Might? Yes, Material Nature has its writ over all observable universe.
