These constant limitations, due to the nature that they are constant, are not spontaneous occurrences by chance, but rather set in place by some other source--God) On a simpler note: An absolutely astonishing number of people are born with two eyes. If this were a random, unorderly universe, humans would not look as similar as they do. This example can be applied to animals, trees etc. Also: Everyday JMU appears very similar to the day before. If the universe were spontaneous, a given place would not retain its properties for such long periods of time. I.E. If the universe were spontaneous, you would expect to wake up as a different creature in a different world once in a while, to my knowledge this is not the case. I am sure you know more about universal laws than I do. My knowledge of science is poor in deed. If my entropy argument did not make sense let me know. . . I have some sources that I can refer to.
