Playing devils advocate it has sometimes crossed my mind that the universe as a whole ,or even as a time constant need not necessarily be based on logic!but its then that I turn to drink …

In his rebuttal to the idea of design David Hume wrote that for all we know, this world was the work of an apprentice god who hadn’t quite learned how to do god things yet.
