What allows the elements to obey?
Does intelligence figure in?
2 Ne. 2: 14
14 And now, my sons, I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning; for there is a God, and he hath created all things,
both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are,
both things to
act and things to be
acted upon.
things to act = intelligences?
things to be acted upon = elements (like your house in the hurricane example?)
