That said, can you think of a reason why it must be a brute fact other than you cannot give an account for the natural order. In other words, why is your assertion that the regularity of nature not an argument from ignorance.
You can always ask why. And you can only answer by either appealing to science or theology. Give me one good reason why anyone should ever even consider the latter as anything but speculation based on mere assumption.
