However, if I arrived on a deserted island and found a the neat figure of a perfect triangle in the sand, I would assume that it did not arrive there by chance. I would conclude instead that the island was not quite so deserted as it looked. My reasoning would be simple, and well understood. If the design itself is intelligent, the odds are overwhelming that it was created by something intelligent. If the design is wholly random, well, then it in fact is not a design, and my island is desserted. If a triangle in the sand was put there by someone who appreciates symmetry, if not geometry, a universe that can be best explained and understood by mathematics is one that was created by a mathematician.<BR/> <BR/>Some call it intelligent design. I call it God.<BR/><BR/>GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1139262563117230432006-02-06T13:49:00.000-08:002006-02-06T13:49:00.000-08:00BillIt's amazing what can be done in ten billion y...Bill<BR/><BR/>It's amazing what can be done in ten billion years with an (effectively) limitless supply of matter and energy to play with.<BR/> <BR/>Given these resources it's perhaps surprising that something more complex than a human hasn't occurred (with or without God's help).....maybe it has and we just haven't met it yet.<BR/><BR/>TexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
