It’s like the last 15 pages never happened and we have to start all over. I imagine this is why atheists get bored with debating after a while.
I admit, that I was having a bit of fun there, and I didn't expect that anyone would agree with that or that this represents their position. But if we get rid of the principle of sufficient reason, then why not? If things can begin to exist without cause, then what would limit an elephant from appearing without cause? Given enough time and chance, isn't anything possible?
You theists dismiss the principle of sufficient reason when it comes to your god anyway. You only demand it of the universe and the things in the universe. And yet, paradoxically, you're still all too happy to accept that the universe came into being without a material cause. How is that sufficient reason exactly?
And as for your last couple of questions, laws of physics perhaps? When you get to see an elephant pop into being for no reason, let us know.
