Neither. Trying to manipulate natural law through man's law. It's more simple and basic than that.

A good example of Man's Law vs. Natural Law would be- licensing people for the use of gravity.

It's the ridiculousness of watching people try and control natural law through man's law. You can make a law that states that the world is flat all day and that was done- but that doesn't make the world flat.

Creationism being adopted in schools by man's law is another good example. You cannot negate science and natural law by making a law.

You cannot negate the existence of something or make it come into being- simply by making a law about it.

Using man's law to try and control something that is not within man's power is just silly. Is it not?


I believe these two things can and do meet with proper forethought- like supplying and controlling the flow of water to supply dry regions. But the fact that it becomes a vs. is the ridiculous part.
