cappytan - Before making a Judgement, perhaps you should research the lives of these men - Galileo, Descartes, Kepler, Newton, Lomonosov, Mendeleyev
If you can show me one of these men, that did not first delve into Philosophy, you can appropriately call my statement "Bollocks" as you so wisely surmised it as.

Viviane - I used an analogy, which I feel shows clear and simple evidence that the Laws of the Universe result in Good at all times.
Perhaps what I wrote came our sounding like Drivel, I apologize for not being clear.. I'l try again. I'll attempt to use Deductive Reasoning.. Please let me know if any of my Axioms are wrong, or if I am not stating them properly.
* In using the Term universe, I do not mean "Outer Space", rather I mean all that is known to Exist.

Infallible is the best way to Describe the laws of the Universe.
The Inherent Good nature of the Universe has nothing to do with me.. I will Die, however Life independent of me will continue to Evolve and become Better.
We are all the Same. We must Evolve.

prologos - Ahh.. Indeed you are correct.
Things outside of my realm of Consciousness and observation are moving towards Better Ends at all times. It is only the pride within me, that veils these mechanisms from my understanding.

Viviane -
I see.. Since you are a Scientist, My explanations must comply with the rigidity of the scientific method ?
Never mind the fact that, many scientific discoveries, had their origins in philosophy and meta-physical insights.

Viviane : A while back you wrote a post, which discussed "Quality Thinking". Let us please abide by the statements in your post, to come to a conclusion in this thread.
I said that the Universe is Orderly - You said that the Universe is not Orderly.
I said that the Universe is Inherently Good - You said that the Universe is not Inherently Good.
The Definition of Inherent is "existing in someone or something as a permanent and inseparable element, quality, or attribute"
It is my assertion that If someone is More organized than unorganized, it is Fair to Say that the Person is organized.
If as a Result of being Organized, the Person becomes organized a to a Greater Extent ,it can be said that the person is Improving in his Organization.
If this Person lives forever, and he without relent, becomes more organized, it can be said that this person is Inherently organized. Or organization is an inseparable quality of who he is.
Using this Analogy, consider the quality of Evolution.
Does Life go from Better to Worse, or does Life go From Worse to Better?
If you agree that Life goes from Worse to Better, is it not appropriate to say that Evolution is Inherently Good?
If Evolution is Inherently Good, and Evolution is the Force that compels the Universe to grow, would not the Universe also be Inherently Good?
