Always or for the most part...

...things take place in nature.  Aquinas relates that it is the business of the wise man to order, which says something about modern man and his sponteneous panegyric; about his self with the status as changeling.  We are fundamentally unwise.

Reason has four ordering qualities according to Aquinas (Proemium to the Commentary on the Ethics.)

1) Order that reason examines in nature: why does every squirrel collect nuts for the winter?
2) Order of its concepts: why does a subject require a predicate?
3) Order of ethics: why do we have theories of action?
4) Order of mechanics: why does a house not collapse when we put the form of the house as it exists in our minds into the matter of exterior reality?

(1) and (4) are simply devastating to atheism.  We can, like the modern who prefers unintelligible ignorance to truth because alas, ignorance frees the intellectual will, deny both of these.  But mechanism is simply devastating to the atheistic view.  Indeed, mechanism needs to be denied if we want God not to exist.  Simply answer this: If the order reason examines in exterior things is simply the human mind imposing the linkage of sequences on exterior reality, then why does that exterior reality conform to our whims?

If my mind was the creator of order in the abyss of the changeling chaos of exterior reality, then planes, trains, and automobiles would be impossible. If that very order were not "out there," it would not conform to what is "in here."

We could, of course, claim that matter is simply pure potency waiting for the imposition of some form from some being with reason.  That would be too Aristotelian; indeed, that would be too metaphysical for the modern philosopher who has chosen ignorance; who has chosen to cut himself off from paths to knowledge because by legitimately seeking knowledge one is ultimately confronted with immaterial first causes.  So we ought, with the moderns, choose ignorance so as to deny immaterial realities; then we will be big minded; then we will be great souls; then we will be an accepted intellectual.  The toxicity of the modern intelligentia is choking!

Science opposed to wisdom; anti-religion is anti-knowledge; anti-religion, anti-Christ, is the death nail to science.  Indeed, it is the death nail to humanity with real blood in its train.

Answer me this, my modern hater friends:  Why does exterior reality conform to reason's order?  If it does, then we are on the brink of the metaphysical principles of act and potency.  Oh no!  Not the precipice of religion!  No, no, we shall not go!  No, let us stay here exulting our wills and slaying our humanity.  Let us perpetuate the lie that Christ is anti-knowledge!  And with our self-deception let us, the slayers of knowledge, assume the role of open minded knowers.  Meanwhile, with our fascism, we will make Christ the fascist; we will silence and call Him the silencer.  So noble we are!  We, the noble, scientific liars!
