Nature's Definiteness of Purpose

Nature's plans are fixed and unchangeable, ensuring the universe's overall plan executes without human interference. This is called the "Miracle of Life".
The Law of Cosmic Habitforce controls all other natural laws, determining habits, energies, matter, and the relationships between celestial bodies (stars and planets) in the lower life forms.
Humans have the unique ability to establish and modify personal habits, unlike lower life forms bound by instinct.
Human habits are not predetermined; we can choose our goals, create plans, and adjust habits to achieve these goals.
This freedom of choice places humans close to Infinite Intelligence, enabling us to tap into its power to reach our aims.
Human achievements in the 20th century demonstrate this significant ability. Examples include advancements in technology, specifically the "push-button age".

The stars, planets, and their matter adhere to nature's fixed habits through the Law of Cosmic Habitforce. This creates predictable patterns and cycles, unlike humans.

Observing successful people reveals a critical pattern: unwavering determination despite numerous failures.
