Engineers are going to have to get over the idea that things can’t be designed by evolutionary algorithms.

Not many really complex problems remain for the lone gunman.

Engineers know full well that simple things can be ‘designed’ following basic laws of nature- it’s the incredibly complex living systems however that can’t be and trying to insinuate that because simple designs can arise from chaos, then that must mean Macroevolution is a possibility is an incredibly naieve position to take scientifically- but then again incredibly naieve positions seem quite ocmmon concidering that some beleive that just because incredibly simplistic negative entropy situations can occure then it must mean that trillions of highly complex negative entropy situations could also occure- (this despite decades of experiments that failed to show anythign beyond the very basics) insinuating that snowflakes- simple geometric patterns governed by natural laws show that negative entropy could happen, and that incredibly complex organs and systems could possibly arise, is well- quite frankly naieve- And, misrepresenting what engineers beleive and don’t beleive is another little tactic that belongs on lesser forums as well-
