Actually, I think the same about atheism. If the natural order is arbitrary then it can arbitrarily change.

Arbitrary implies a trickster arbitrator. I think you mean "happenstance."

For rules to change, there still needs to be some kind of impetus or event. If the universe is "dead," i.e. just deterministically following rules, then where would that impetus come from?
