reblak: The 'rules of engagement' to build an infant human are detailed in every reproductive system, sperm and egg. Those same or similar rules came about on Earth under conditions we do not know. If, as I affirm, these ‘building blocks are supplemented automatically, nothing in the way of a directing intelligence is required. No planning is involved, nor even remotely needed. No design factor can exist in these circumstances.

Here we go again. How can you say I have ignored your question yet quote part of my answer? I wrote at length of how I maintain that the conditions in which both inorganic and organic systems come about are intrinsic in a methodology that allows progressive automatic and systematic evolution, no matter how complex the process may become.

You are suggesting that the solutions we cannot otherwise find (especially to the problems of origin outlined above, but also to unexplained psychic phenomena) lie in blind, unconscious, chance-directed “Mother Nature”. Once more, if you believe that, you need just as much faith as you need to believe in “Mother Nature’s” other identity as a seeing, conscious, purpose-directed God.

Nature is not chance directed and there is no reason to think she is. Whilst consciousness does not pertain there is always an element of atomic and chemical awareness at work. Perhaps I should reaffirm my position yet again in the context of my stated views on how the natural world functions.

Everything – everything, exists by virtue of capability extant in the Universe and nowhere else! There isn’t an ‘anywhere else’ anyway!

To my way of interpreting what you propose: an inorganic universe exists and somehow is purposely directed to produce organic living mater which ends up in big brained humans, all not by chance but through some sort of intrinsic mechanisms, filled with information. You don't explain where the purposeful direction comes from, nor do you identify the origin of the information that some how arose from an inorganic universe. Information is immaterial. You are accepting all of this on faith as a proposed explanation of our reality. Is that a fair summary? I find your beliefs the equivalent of my God.
