Trial is defined as "a test of the performance, qualities, or suitability of someone or something." An organism's life is definitely a test of its ability to survive; a flower seed being buried in a shady spot is thus a trial. There is no need for a guide.
- tomrod 6y agoNo one is testing, however. Folks commonly use verbiage derived from intellectual design, and we should be conscientious on the subject. There is a system in the randomness, but we need not attribute will to the system.
- ironmagma 6y agoThere need not be a tester for a test to exist. The organism tests itself in some sense. The system (universe) tests the organism, the same way things can stand the “test of time.” Whether you personally interpret this as intelligent design is entirely outside of the discussion.
