NATURAL LAW AND THE EFFECTS OF CHOICE Everything in this world has an order in which it should be. Everything also has significance in one way or another.

Reaction to “Babel Runs Backward” I found this article to be incredibly enlightening. I was moved by the idea that there are thousands of languages spoken today that may not be spoken tomorrow.
