"I'm told that the Vogons don't hold with the Young Earth Theory. "

Actually, they just consider it to be highly improbable.

"Actually, they just consider it to be highly improbable."

That d*mned Rudy Carnap was a Vogon - I always knew there was something funny about the guy...;^)

Myself, I'm with the necessity school - the universe necessarily exists as existent.

History, of course, including the varied sagas of theories, can not admit necessity to its lexicon, as all historical events are chock full of human beings, each with his own will.

And at each and every epochal moment in history, human action, or inaction, could have altered events radically. There is no 'necessity' in history, or by extension, in human life.
