Viking Law, Roman Law, English Common Law, Merchant Law, etc. You may think you've struck upon a mother lode of wild diversity in human thought, but an honest study of history will show that all of these take their shape in large part from Natural Law, and gosh by golly, Natural Law finds keen exposition in the Bible. Our forefathers were especially well versed in both, and their writings reflect the same.

Have to admit, you've assembled further testimony to an incredible amount of order that "undirectedly" arose out of . . . WHAT? Gases? Really you just don't know for sure, do you? You've got to be kidding if you expect the rest of the world to swallow that, and ludicrous if you think such a point of view deserves a monopoly in academic circles.

Of course, because the biblical law is also based upon common sense 'natural' law. - Which essentialy evolves from the golden rule, common to all mankind, learned at our mothers breast. -- "Don't bite the tit that feeds you."

There is currently no evidence for any other point of view (note: arguments from astonishment do not constitute evidence).
