The Divine Order (Eternal Law) is exhibited throughout the entire universe and is the basis of all living creatures. The immutable Laws of Nature are based on the Eternal Law and it is the [holy] Spirit (pneuma), who is the master of it and strictly maintains it.

“Because the thing known of God is clearly known in them, for God revealed it to them. For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and Divine Nature, for them to be without excuse.” - Romans 1:19-20.

Thomas Aquinas understood the Natural Law is "nothing else than the rational creature's participation in the Eternal Law."

Eternal law is defined as those laws governing the eternal universe. As Dimock phrased it, one can "think of eternal law as comprising all those scientific 'laws' (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, etc.) by which the universe is ordered." In my previous post I provided the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Spiral that dictates everything small and large. From cell growth to entire galaxies this hold's true. I did not mention or discuss the 'Living water' and its amazing characterisitc and power. However, this is an important piece that makes the Law of Nature possible. Natural law is often defined in the scientific sense as well. Aquinas earlier noted:

“The natural law is a participation of the eternal law … and therefore endures without change, owing to the unchangeableness and perfection of the Divine Reason, the Author of nature. But the reason of man is changeable and imperfect: wherefore his law [human law] is subject to change.”

He further observes:

“[E]very human law has just so much of the nature of law as is derived from the law of nature. But if in any point it deflects from the law of nature, it is no longer a law but a perversion of law".

Surprisingly, very little is found for detailed cataloging of nature’s laws. Emphasis tends to convey man’s law as it is related to nature. Yet, we know from ancient Greek writings that their philosophy greatly premised these laws. They were thought to be self-evident; a manifestation that all could understood. Alas, this is not so in the modern era. Instead, the axiomatic truth has been abandoned for man’s preoccupation with mercantilism and his own self-centeredness.

Nature’s laws dictate the entire life cycle of an organism from the time of mating, to birth and nurturing, to aging, and finally death. Each of these events is part of the enduring battle for self-preservation.

Self preservation is a necessary innate force in Nature, but with mankind it is far from being absolute. People first surrender the earth from under their feet, then their minds, or the ability to reason, and finally their hearts and souls.1 All that remain are automatons; senses are a detritus of past dignity and principle. Self-gratification strips men of all genius, virtue, freedom, and truth. At this point, the understanding of Nature is lost. This is especially true today.
