DT: "I think it really is an equal flip of the coin, because of the prodigious odds against chance having done the creation of what does exist." - 
> Given enough time and enough variation in the situations an accident of the right creative type is inevitable. - George: This is where we part ways. There are only 10^18th power seconds in the life of the universe. Calculations of information theory, using statistical Shannon information theory, indicate that there hasn't been enough time available for your 'accident of chance', particularly since life appeared about 3.6 bya leaving only 10 bya for the accident. Saying chance exists is a truism which ignores the proper definition of chance within a scientific framework of study: the scientific study of statistical probabilities and a probability bound of chance. The age of the universe is finite. The chance of your evolution accident approaches infinity. This puts the odds of an intellectual force planning evolution in my favor.
