There is from the perspective of someone who cannot observe that, which is rather akin to our current perspective with regards the origin of the Universe.

If it behaved in an irrational way then it'd be impossible to predict where it came from or where it will be going.

Correct. And if the Universe had an irrational beginning, it would be impossible to predict where it came from or where it will be going.

At least you acknowledge that important distinction, but I'm not going to shoulder your burden of proof. Recall that I have never said that the Universe behaves illogically; merely that what you expect to be logical behaviour may be missing some crucial data.

Damn you're so sexy. Mmmm.

His task, should he choose to accept it, is to learn the difference. The former is much better suited to abstract systems, and not to extrapolating into the total unknown.




I think you  dided 1 of dem strawmans.
