Yes, you do.
Your first failure of logic is that you are assuming people are doing this just "to show that all we see could have happened by chance (dumb luck)." That is not at all why anyone does research.
“you are assuming people are doing this just “to show that all we see could have happened by chance (dumb luck).”
First I am not assuming that SOME of the people are doing this research to prove just what I said. I have read their research articles and SOME of them have stated as such. The rest of the researchers might have different reasons...reasons that I am not aware of.
“That is not at all why anyone does research.”
That is a pretty absolute statement...so NOBODY ever does research to try to prove that this world came about in a way different then...”In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
You may want to rethink that statement.
