That's the basis for Science. There are no side rules that allow for matter or intelligence to spring forth on it's own. Or for good design to come out of nothing.
​
On whose authority do you make this pronouncement? Yours? Can you imagine, just maybe, that there are "rules of nature" that Sky doesn't know about? 'Cause I can imagine that there are some that no human yet knows about. And there's a couple of known ones that "allow for matter...to spring forth on its own." It happens all the time - electron/positron pairs out of nada.
​
You're talking bologna, Sky.

Something that shows (even hints) Newton was wrong.
​
Einstein did that about a century ago, as far as gravity and laws of motion go.

Re: Law of Nature
But even ignoring that possibility it has to be said that basing ones notion of "why" on something that requires you to deny reality as discovered is just plain stupid.
​
Not to even start with the silliness of the notion that you only find out this great Why after you're dead!

"The wretched world lies now under the tyranny of foolishness; things are believed by Christians of such absurdity as no one ever could aforetime induce the heathen to believe." - Agobard of Lyons, ca. 830 AD
