I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent many a sleepless night worrying about baryon asymmetry. I’m still trying to decide whether my feelings on the matter are positive or negative...
I like that! All things being equal, or not...
Please, without the biblical foundations of creation, give me justification for your assumption of continued order as a precondition to scientific inquiry!
Said another way...please account for the existence of universal invariant abstract entities.
