Wasteful Intelligent Design

Well, the concept of "waste" only applies to someone with limited resources. But it's not as though God's going to run out of firmament, or has to pay for it by the yard, is it? And on the seventh day, God's boss came back from his business trip, and lo, he said, 'Dammit, God, there was enough space-time there for a dozen universes! That's the last time I leave you in charge.' ... not gonna happen, is it?

All the fun things in life are unneeded extras.

If you look up at the stars in a clear night sky and think to yourself: "Dear me, how unnecessary", then you're doing it wrong.

You know this "science" thing we keep telling you about? Well, it has to do with that.

No, that's not what I meant. That would be why I said something else.

No it wasn't. It may have been what you meant to ask, but you didn't.

Since you ask, the (fundamental) laws exist because there are only a finite number of varieties of (common, at least) fundamental particles. Higher-order laws again are the result of limited variety in nature.

Saying that "laws of nature exist" is really just a (misleading) reification of this fact.

But I'm keen to learn your explanation. Does it involve magic?

Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

You didn't. You asked him why he thinks laws exist.

It's not our fault that you can't express yourself clearly.

Now that you've had a second run at it, you've got an answer to what you apparently meant to ask. You could maybe stop whining now?

And then you guys wonder why you can't get published in the mainstream scientific journals.
