1. To make a mathematical formula of any kind takes intelligence. Show me a pattern in nature that is not complex ( fractals, DNA )

Drop a pile of rocks on the ground. I'll bet you the mathematical formula that's required to describe the positions of the rocks will not be simple. (They won't line up in a nice neat row, evenly spaced, which would make for a simple equation.) Are there angels whose job it is to make sure they don't line up exactly?

OTOH, if you bring simple organic molecules together in certain ways and expose them to a hot bath rich in minerals such as iron sulfides & inorganic clays, more complex molecules form, and even link up into chains. Pretty cool, if you ask me!

2. The simplest way to demonstrate statistical probability is to flip a coin. Heads or Tails ? only problem is it takes someone to flip the coin.

Unless an earthquake shakes the table & the coin drops to the ground. So?

Look - utterly complex weather systems get created every day on Earth. They're so complex, it takes supercomputers to describe them! So are there angels whose job... ?

Like I said.
the choice is yours.
Random occurrance or intelligent design.
Take the evidence and decide.
Does your bathroom clean itself up. Did a tree come from a tiny seed and grow into a giant Sequoia from the code in a molecule at random ? Like a coin falling from a table ?
How does the evidence suggest random ?
Maybe the coin fell over and replaced itself three million times and somehow got up went and mixed the nucleic acids into a complex code.

As for the weather patterns , supercomputers describe them, they could not even begin to create them
