In a purely random universe* the odds of the information reaching you would be no greater than 1 in 14.550941072021 × 10179 -- and that's a modest approximation where only space and time are randomized. Since the true random odds are infinity divided by one, you can actually make them appear as slight as you wish short of that by introducing additional variables. It's the same game creationists play with information theory and probability statistics.

In keeping with such ID 'logic' (so to speak), clearly the information could only have reached you because God telegrammed it directly to you....

* I'm fairly certain that's what you mean by the incoherent way you're using the term "purely 'natural' environment"..

Obviously you haven't watched Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy recently.

Infinity minus one is related to the infinite improbability drive.

Speaking of which, sometimes I think what these crevo threads need is a Babel fish, what with all of the talking past each other which goes on here!

Cheers!
