Quotes About Physis

Paul is not talking in Romans 1:26–27 about a violation of the order of creation. In Paul's vocabulary, physis (nature) is not a synonym for ktisis (creation). In speaking about what is "natural," Paul is merely accepting the conventional view of people and how they ought to behave in first-century Hellenistic-Jewish culture.
~ Unknown
Evolution, life, physis, appear here as enveloping with regard to 'consciousness' of human knowledge.
~ Maurice Merleau-Ponty
