"Why do causes produce regular effects?" God does it.
Are those answers more reasonable?
Except those do not fairly represent the answers....

"Why is there something rather than nothing?" I don't know. Let's investigate. Is this even a sensible question?
"Why does the world have a rational order?" I don't know. Let's investigate, even though I'm not sure how it could have an irrational order.
"Why do causes produce regular effects?" I don't know, but is it even possible that causes could produce irregular effects?
Same difference. No answer at all.
"I don't know" IS an answer. Theists often seem to have the belief that admitting you don't know something is some kind of weakness. On the contrary, the weakness is pretending that you know something you don't. It's a sign of a weak mind.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
