[[That such a universe could be produced in some sort of abstract infinity by means of “pure, blind chance” is a sheer statistical (and logical) improbability....]]
Their counter argument- from all I’ve gathered i nthe yearso n here and in other forums, is that Macroevolution isn’t ‘pure chance’ but a directed purposeful process (as though the process is forward looking- intimating of course intelligence) and that statistics don’t count- why? Because ice crystals forming show a process of negative entropy (ignoring again the fact that static law abiding moot examples of geometric patterns showing SLIGHT negative entropy in no way compares to highly dynamic, highly complex self organizing, irreducibly complex law violating living systems- their best argument against statistics hinges on irrelevent examples of negative entropy in non living, geometry abiding formations of crystals- yet apparently htis is ‘enough’ for them to discount statistical impossibilites.
Well that just goes to show you that man has taken up, and is following, the "God model," after first having "killed God." Then they can imagine they have "the field of truth" all to themselves, as in the ancient saying, "man is the measure of all things"....
It's the sort of reasoning you'd expect from a three-year-old. And yet one hears it routinely these days, from eminent scientists no less.
Go figure!
‘irreducibly complex law violating living systems’
