Re: On Hume and order in nature
[ QUOTE ]
An axiom IS an unprovable assumption. It's "self-evidently true" because it can't be proven. "The Universe exists" is an axiom, and it is an unprovable assumption.

No, no, NO. It's unprovable, but it is not an assumption. It's a proposition that is known to be true. It doesn't need to be true.
It's true in an obvious way. It's not "self-evidently true because it can't be proven." You either totally don't get this or you have a horrible way of explaining it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
