Dr Lew,
Well, thanks for your thoughtful response.
I am a believer in design, seeing as it is my daily work, so I disagree simply out of respect to science and casual observation. I have yet to see any useful design come out of chance. Snowflakes and crystals as nice and ordered as they are, simply reflect the inherent properties of the molecules they are are made of. Design requires intelligence and there is simply no escaping that simple fact. Evolution and chance are at odds with one another they can not work together. Warmest Regards, Boiler Plate

That's right. Primordial life processes and structures must have arisen dynamically, in analogy to the structures of hurricanes and tornados, for example, and on the sun, such structures as spicules, sunspots, and prominences.

The spontaneous origin of these structures refute your categorical assertion that "design requires intelligence".
