Complex elements in a group that adhere to a fairly stringent form and have similar functionality amongst members in that group is very unlikely to have been a result of randomness and chaos.
Liklihood doesn't help you explain anything.
Characteristics of species aren't present because they're placed there, but because they work enough not to be selected against in a niche.
A certain base mold that exists that allows for slight levels of deviation in various parameters to occur when the original is replicated is called a prototype.
Thats not how modern biology works. Its not a "base mold"
We're all different, with slight changes, but there is no "base mold"
A prototype is the result of a DESIGN.
sure...for things that are designed. Theres no evidence "life" was designed.
In life, there is a sort of generator which is generating all of existence.
Prove it.
It seems like you didn' ttake any biology classes.
You're trying to use philosophy to answer what biology has already explained. Its like you're living in the 1600s.
Explain to me how this generator, which you assert has NO intelligence and is completely chaotic, is continually generating a world that adheres to laws with fixed properties?
You said such a generator exists. I haven't even been confirmed of that or what you even mean, then you're asking me to defend what you haven't proven????
And evolution explains what I THINK you're trying to talk about.
If I ran a random number generator for eternity, it would continue to produce random numbers for an eternity, and you couldn't study any of those numbers or come to any conclusions about them because they are completely random and have no meaning nor do they adhere to any laws
so? This is predicated on me not knowing its random. I can't know what I can't know.
You say reason is merely a tool of human comprehension... but in order for something to be comprehended, it has to be SENSIBLE.
Sure. But there are things outside of your range of senses that other animals can perceive. That doesn't prove your deity.
There are no conclusions you can draw from random numbers or random scribblings on paper because they are not reasonable.
Well reason is a method of consistency, and this may be true what does it have to do with your deity?
They produce no patterns.... You say that patterns are a result of efficiency. Can you show me a random number generator that eventually becomes 'efficient' and eventually starts producing patterns?
Your number generator isn't a biological system.
You can't equate a machine with a biological system
Different rules. The machine operates under tightly specifed conditions.
In fact, can you show me a graphical simulation that generates elements completely randomly, where none of these elements have any fixed properties, nor does the 'world' in which the simulation is occurring have any physics programmed into it eventually start to produce highly complex and functional patterns of their own volition?
Uh...the genetic code might interest you...maybe...
What incentive does a world completely devoid of intelligence have to be efficient?
i don't understand this question
Higher levels of efficiency derive from intelligent sources because they require that one continually recognize the situation at hand and to adapt in a fashion that would produce that higher level of efficiency
it doesn't have to be a conscious process.
You keep wanting to act like water has a "mind" to achieve equilibrium across semipermable membranes...no dummy...thats just osmosis.
Recognition requires intelligence.
is chemotaxsis intelligence?
It requires an entity to distinguish between various stimuli and then to make a determination on how to adapt to that stimuli.
Sure. But intelligence is an emergent property of brains with highly refined systems of functioning, not some external entity.
