Epigraph:

بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is. (Al Quran 2:117)

2. Where did the laws of nature come from?

These questions ultimately lead us to God. Despite the fact that most atheists have made a religion out of science, if we believe Leslie’s view on the limitations of science then could it be that atheists are not doing very good science or its interpretation?

Additionally, watching this video and hundreds of others made by Closer to Truth, with these two premises from John Leslie gives us new theological and other insights.
