2. A universe that follows 'laws' implies a 'law giver'

Comment #134492 by Comradepinko on February 27, 2008 at 10:01 pm

The previous comments on this subject are accurate.

The word "law" has multiple meanings. A person making the argument the all natural laws require a law giver is committing the fallacy of equivocation.

All banks are next to rivers.
Therefore, the bank where I deposit my money is next to a river.

The person making this argument (or the lawgiver argument) is confused about the multiple meanings of the word being used.
