guitarplayer1953: “They believe that order comes out of chaos too.”

That is at least plausible. Look at a chaotic explosion and you'll find at least some orderly patterns within it. It's the argument that if you put a near infinite number of chimps on typewriters or put one chimp on a typewriter for a near infinite period of time, sooner or later one of Shakespeare's plays would be typed. If you had that play in your hands, you might very well think it was typed intentionally, but it was entirely random. You couldn't even prove randomness or intention with statistical analysis, because that play could have been the first thing typed (highly improbable but not impossible) or produced after billions upon billions of years of typing.
