So, I guess the terrorists carried those big Jumbo Jets into downtown New York and hurled them at the twin towers? My dad had to be licensed to fly for more than 30 years. Men do fly. Men were not designed by God to be able to fly; but, men through their own means fly. It is un-natural, but I would not consider it evil. Try again.

The use of tools and machines does not violate the natural law. I again ask you to show me a violation of the natural law which is not a sin.

No, wait, there must be a sin somewhere there. Never mind.

1.A law or body of laws that derives from nature and is believed to be binding upon human actions apart from or in conjunction with laws established by human authority.

2. that instinctive sense of justice and of right and wrong, which is native in mankind, as distinguished from specifically revealed divine law, and formulated human law.

Yes they most certainly do. Natural law is a belief system, not a scientific method. For centuries, it was believed that men could not and should not fly. Even at the time that aircraft were invented, it was considered un-natural and a temptation of God. As such, ruling out tools and machines is not possible because tools and machines offend the natural order of things in the belief system of many - even outside of religion. Find me an autoworker who didn't feel he was treated wrongly when he was replaced by a machine and you might have an argument there. Belief is a part of natural law. If the belief is offended by tools and machines, then the law is violated.
