Hi Chris,
Your thoughts are intriguing, Chris. If a more satisfactory understanding of
life ever emerges, it will be from an accumulation of all the diverse,
individual thoughts and speculations of dissidents, including you , Cliff and
people promoting ID, panspermia, "order for free, Hoyle's "intelligent
universe", etc. I'd be more optimistic about something developing from your
thoughts if your "random" included a Lamarckian quality. You don't believe
in indeterminate free will. I do, and claim it is "supernatural". Free
will is a part of the real world, but science as we now define science can
not deal with it. It is an exciting time, and I hope I live to see
progress. Meanwhile I remain solidly in the ID camp, partly because of the
intransigent attitude of most "evolutionists", and partly because I like ID's
definition of "intelligence" better than yours.
