It is fairly well know that things put together with thought and planning generally function better than random things thrown together. If I want to cut the lawn, am I going to be in better shape purchasing a John Deere lawnmower or just grabbing whatever is at hand, shaking it up, and heading out to mow the lawn? The objects within reach right now include hard and soft cover books, some cardboard, leather, a little bit of leather, and, obviously, some glass and plastic forming this computer.
Does anyone out there seriously believe if I just apply enough force to them and then let them sit for a while, a better lawnmower will be produced than the one John Deere makes? Of course not. That would be ridiculous.
Even more ridiculous would be if I were to compare the random materials here in the apartment and say that if I just left them alone for a few million years they would randomly, by themselves, make something more complicated and better functioning than what I am using right now?
Imagine if you had say...quituplets and then left them alone in the middle of the woods and came back in 2 million years, wouldn't things be so much better off? Of course not! When someone is watched and cared for, they always do better.
Yet here is a comment from someone decrying the foolishness of the idiots who believe there is a God who deliberately created this earth:
"The bottom lines here are that the amount of complexity involved in many natural processes is far beyond calculability and therefore far beyond any notion of 'intelligence' that we might conceive of, and that such complexity arises normally from the known forces of nature."

In other words...nature, which in his view happened by random chance is able to create enormously complex processes and interactions that no deliberate, intelligent design is able to. Because he is not smart enough to figure out how it is put together, since he cannot calculate these processes, then no all-powerful, all-knowing Being could exist. No, it is much more likely that a series of POSITIVE ACCIDENTS created an incalculably complex situation that any upset in the balance, such as...oh, I don't know, a NEGATIVE ACCIDENT? might completely destroy is the way the earth was formed.
Why is it that we consider mutations deformed? Should not those be heralded as the next natural step in evolution? After all, they did happen randomly.
The Bible talks about people who in professing to be wise, they became fools. I think we have a candidate to prove the truth of that.
Let me seriously say this; if you truly believe random happenings are able to make more complex interactions than someone deliberately trying to form something...I never want to ride in a car you built, be educated by you, and with all the jokes flying about the i.q. of Miers and Quayle (Who, by the way, was right about the spelling, thus proving sometimes those who mock others are often unaware that to many others, they are actually mocking themselves...and yes, I am fully aware that could easily apply to me as well) right now...well, I will put you next to Boyle in my jokes.

I'm curious, what did Quayle supposedly misspell? I'm asking because I don't know what you are referring to.
The guy in this article sounds like an agnostic, "I'm too dumb to figure it out, so it must not exist and you can't figure it out either."
