Re: On Hume and order in nature
[ QUOTE ]
The point of contention is probably my claim that depending on exactly how you define order, it is likely the universe is fundamentally not ordered, despite the necessity for us to assume it is in order to operate within it.

Your point is a semantic one. That's why you and I disagree.
Furthermore, I think we *can*, to an extent, say that "this is the way the universe is". We know that mass attracts mass. We call it gravity. The precise reasons this happens we may not know, but we know that it *does* happen.
