- Reason and human nature are gifts from God and we should base our actions off of that, not predetermined rules.
- God gave us these gifts in order to allow us to govern ourselves.
- These gifts should be implemented and used to discover God's other creations and we should have no boundaries.

Stephen Deist-Hawk
Human Nature/ Reason
"I don't think it is very useful to speculate on what God might or might not be able to do, rather we should examine what he actually does with the universe we live in. All our observations suggest that it operates according to well-defined laws. These laws may have been ordained by God but it seems that he does not intervene in the universe to break the laws at least not once he has set the universe going."
