I think you mean the appearance of order. (Personally, I have no idea what light bulbs have to do with God.)

Suppose you had an immense grid and you randomly decided to place marbles in particular squares. At any given time, within this grid, there would be clearly defined letters, shapes, and even images. Of course, this does not mean that the grid, as a whole, is ordered. An honest academic should acknowledge this.

Me either. In fact the light bulb experiment is a bogus red herring. Take those 10,000 light bulbs and assign an instrument and note to each one (for example "Trumpet - C sharp.") Set those lights blinking and they will never play Beethoven's 5th Symphony, even in a trillion years. Nor Mozart, probably not even a 3 part version of Mary had a little Lamb.
