Mark Levin writes in his book Liberty and Tyranny that reason and science can explain a lot, but "Natural Law is the principle around which civilized American society would be organizxed." He writes that the founders of America "excelled at reason and subscribed to science, but worshipped neither." They believed that "our Creator was the origin of their existence and the source of their reason." God is the source of our rights and the author of the laws of nature under Natural Law.
"American courts sit today, as supreme secular councils, which, like Islam's supreme religious councils, dictate all manner of approved behavior respecting religion." Levin admires Barry Goldwater, who in his 1964 acceptance speech for the Republican nomination for president, declared that "those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for Divine Will, and the Nation was founded upon the rejection of that notion and upon the acceptance of God as the author of freedom."
