Almost Persuaded (Free verse) by Dovina

While we’re sleeping something’s keeping the world spinning uniformity winning While we’re dueling for knowledge drooling something’s ambling comfortably ruling Something sensible? Responsible? Reprehensible!

The world wobbles on its axis due to precession the same as a gyroscope does.

Look up "uniformitarianism" or "principle of uniformity" before you say it doesn't exist. Stuff happens as it has happened - that's the gist of it.

Your third paragraph is hogwash! Uniformity is not negative, as you yourself have implied in DISCUSSION TOPIC FOR THE DAY.

Para 4: Uniformitarians will agree with you. Theists might wonder if God has a hand in it.

DISCUSSION TOPIC FOR THE DAY: Who or what made the laws of physics? I'd answer yours, but it's one of those what-if questions that's, as you say, is moot.
