Perhaps not an “arbitrary mess of surface rules,” but why not just one of an infinite number of possible laws.
We have but only begun to gain an EMPIRICAL understanding of our world.… why should our observations equate to what must be a higher truth governing all possible other universes.
However, if we restrict ourself to what we think we know about our world, it is hard to imagine the extent of what else must also change to accommodate a match failing to strike. Nonetheless, new phenomena and discoveries over the years have continually forced us to abandon our current theories about our existence. What do we really know for sure about this world anyway?
