[ But if there is structure and order in the universe (and we perceive that there is), then there must be something universally "true" at the foundation of the order we perceive. Otherwise the world would be one way this instant, and something entirely different at the next instant. In short, the universe would be fundamentally chaotic. But if so, then why are things persistently the way they are, and not some other way?

Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die....

This metaphor (and it is a metaphor..) limits humans to Gods(who walks in the garden) views of reality(bible).. Unless humans want their own views of reality.. and they did and do.. so they form groups of opinion.. with variations..

So humans invented their own Gods and there are many of them.. with views just like their own or close to their own.. To wit; Cargo cults of every size shape and function.. a panoply of Cults..

Today; what is "the Good" and "the Evil".. is germane..
The good(truth) and the evil(wrongness) has expanded its scope..
We call it science and/or religion.. or the science of opinion..

There are a million Yarns in the big city.. with Gods to back them up..
Science fiction requires the Yarn to logical, reality does not require that..

Where do "I" stand in all this drama?...
Jesus came to make literally all religion obsolete.. AND Did..
And I honor his work...
