Golly, you must have been reading Dawkins. Actually the notion of evolution by blind chance is essentially agnostic about the intellligibility of the universe. Neither you nor Dawkins recongizes that Darwin posit a demiurge, called Evolution, to produce the evidence we have in hand. The early stages of the earth as as remote to human beings as the remotest galaxies. More remote, because we can through telescopes faintly see them. The earth of earliest times we can see only with our imaginations.

I am not sure what Dawkins believes, but I know that what I believe is that we do not know how the universe originated. I am content with that because there is no rational alternative and I'm not interested in faith. So far as I'm concerned, if God does exist then nothing can be other than what God wants it to be anyhow, so if God wishes for me to believe in him then at the appointed time I will. Until then, I will bebop along as I am.
