Deputy Dog:
It's not a rule, it's a statement of fact; evolution requires time the same as aging requires time.
Wouldn't you call it natural law?
If you like. It's still just a statement of the way things are.
Would the north star be north of the north pole?
No. "North" only has meaning on the two-dimensional surface of the earth. If you went from the North Pole towards Polaris, your latitude would still be the same (90° North, as far north as you can go); only your altitude would change.
This sort of fits "string theory"and requires an infinite number of universes or what they call a multi-verse in which not only is everything possible, but likely . From what I read, this is the popular view today in quantum physics. If you can wrap you mind around that, believing in God seems quite sane to me
If there are enough universes, then not only is everything likely, but everything is inevitable. However, some universes are more likely than others. While we may live in an unlikely universe, namely one where the conditions are suitable for life to evolve, it is obvious after a little thought that anybody capable of pondering these questions must live in such a universe. 99.999999% or more of universes may contain nothing but space and gas, but necessarily we live in one of the remaining ones. Now while it is possible that the particular universe we live in also has some extremely unlikely properties, it's, well, extremely unlikely. Only in a vanishingly small number of possible universes will an omnipotent entity have come into existence with no precursors, so in the absence of conclusive evidence, it's most reasonable to assume that there are no such entities in our particular corner of the universe.
