"No one believes life came into being by pure blind chance"
You cannot be serious? Millions do. Richard Dawkins, king of blind chance and Darwinism, does. I read his book...The Blind Watchmaker...its very good. I don't believe it but he is an intelligent man and persuavsive debater.
Cmon, lets not make such overtly ridiculous statements.
Then what's you and me - a lucky roll of the dice? Using that analogy, its difficult to see why we should be here at all. If you believe there's no great value to life, its hard to see why any one, least of all Richard Dawkins, would make an argument for blind chance. Even a roll of a dice in a casino has only 50 50 odds of landing the right way. So, why are human beings sentient and animals aren't? There's nothing in an evolution driven by blind chance that favors the rise of a sentient species like ourselves. It could just as happily manage without one around.
