Evolution v Creationism: guided evolution? dhw? (Evolution)

dhw: Your acknowledgement that your God might have produced earlier universes and might go on producing universes runs parallel to my suggestion that first-cause non-conscious energy is capable of doing the same thing.
DAVID: This contention of yours that unconscious energy is capable of invention goes against all current theories about energy: [...]-“Invention” suggests something deliberate, which is not the alternative I am offering. I used the word “produced” as that is more neutral. The article goes on to show the destructive force of kinetic energy, concluding that it requires intelligence to organize a system. It was you who first informed me that energy was matter and matter was energy. Matter is being produced all the time, and given eternity, you can have as many material combinations as you like. By sheer coincidence you have posted an interview with Steven Weinberg in which he gives you the current answer, in the context of our own solar system: -“Most people, like Galen, the Roman physician, thought that it was due to the benevolence of the gods, that it was all arranged for our benefit. A much better answer — the answer we would give today — is that there are billions of planets in our galaxy, and billions of galaxies in the universe. And it's not surprising that a few of them, out of all those billions, are positioned in a way that's favorable for life.”-The “current” theory according to Weinberg is that one universe (let alone an endless sequence) can unconsciously provide enough combinations to yield the organized system your Creationist site considers impossible. Now perhaps you can tell us the current theory to explain how energy can be conscious of itself.
