Creationism? That's obviously true. I recall a related discussion we had here well over a year ago, I think. It involved whether or not the universe only appears orderly by chance or actually does have persistent order. I was surprised to see that many believed order was only by chance, or, in other words, that the universe is in its current state indefinitely due to infinite possibility, and that, though maybe unlikely, the laws of universe could cease to work at any moment.

My counterpoint was that, in a universe with infinite possiblities, there must be infinite possible states that include some variety of permanent, meaningful order, and to assume that ours is not one of those states goes against the fact that we'll continue existing in this current state 1 second from now, and 1 second from then, etc., and that what appears to be the record of the past confirms that we have existed like this for a very long time.
