Conclusion

It seem like once again, there are differences based on personal preference, and logical games. But to keep this from an ad hominem basis, I would tend to agree with a more liberal form of the regularities of nature theory. There tends to be order in the universe, which is not to say that there is some higher reason for order. Regularities are just ways for the human mind to understand the universe. We need particular causal connections &c. in order for us to cope with the universe around us. This does not mean that there is orderliness in the universe as a independent necessity.
