“The sudden appearance of all the Laws of Nature is as untestable as Platonic metaphysics or theology. Why should we assume that all the Laws of Nature were already present at the instant of the Big Bang, like a cosmic Napoleonic code?

The preexistence of these laws cannot possibly be tested before the emergence of the phenomena they govern.”
