Becoming an angry atheist

[Whateverist]

Causes, efficient or not, don't work 'towards a goal'. Causes just happen.

So you're going to just assert that the regularity with which specific effects follow from specific causes happen for no reason at all, a brute fact that requires no justification for that belief. Of course past experience demostrates such regularities in nature, which is the fact to be explained. How do you explain it?

There is a little wiggle room between "for no reason at all" and "for no reason known to me". The latter may include "for no reason generally known to man as determined empirically".

How can you possibly reason to "therefore something completely unconnected to the best theories of science" on the basis that you (and we) -in your infinite wisdom- do not possess that reason. I'm not in the habit of working backwards from facts I don't know to be true to conclusions I'd like to assume are true. That doesn't really work.
