Origin of Life; pre-planning (Introduction)

DAVID: A very early organelle in LUCA is totally weird and unexpected if life started simply. Why is it there? Don't listen to professors' conjectures. Pre-planning is ID by the UI. If we are going to accept evolution as the road to humans, then pre-planning is entirely reasonable.-I do accept evolution as the road to humans, but my point is that the less direct the road, the less reasonable it is to argue for pre-planning, and a Last Universal Common Ancestor more complex than some of its descendants does not suggest a direct route!-Pre-planning is not ID by the UI. You can't have pre-planning without ID, but you most certainly can have ID without pre-planning. The wheel was a product of ID, but I doubt very much if the genius who invented it pre-planned my VW Golf. It would, I suggest, be far more "reasonable" to suppose that pre-planning would proceed in a direct line from simple to complex, from bacteria to human, without all the higgledy-piggledy diversions of extinctions and of the more complex reducing itself to the more simple (if the study proves to be correct.). I am not listening to the professors' conjectures. I am challenging yours!
