> dhw: But from my subjective standpoint, I would have expected your almighty God to rely on skill rather than luck if he had a particular purpose in mind.-I don't know God's exact plan when it seems he started evolution and it turned out like a confusing bush of organisms.
>> 
> dhw; Obfuscation. Cells using intelligent information...codes using intelligent information...In computers this is called Artificial Intelligence, so in living organisms some of us would call it natural intelligence.-The information used has to have a source. The first cells had information to work with. How did they get it?

> dhw: You assume the process was meant to lead to humans. It also led to every single species that is still in existence. ..... if I did believe in God, I would not object to the idea of the occasional dabble. It's the colossal scale and detailed plans behind your hypothetical preprogramming of the very first living cells that I find so unbelievable when set against evolutionary history.-The thought comes from the evidence of the evolutionary process we see.
