Whether universal laws are self evident, random or intelligently designed is irrelevant to the discussion at hand though. The laws are there. It is through these laws that life arose. We have a procedural generation algorithm and a seed.
Even if you claim there is a single god that created both of these things, backwards deriving the seed necessary to generate the current state, it still routes through this physical process which is describable with physics and could be extrapolated to other starting conditions or future scenarios that humans can utilize.
It makes no difference.
- rmbyrro 4y agoI think it makes a difference in that we're discussing the origin of life. Some argue the origin is in the - supposedly random - combination of molecules. Others think the answer is deeper and relates to more fundamental aspects of nature.
- oneoff786 4y agoNo, you’re arguing for two separate acts of intelligent design. The laws of the universe and the formation of life. But the fact is that the latter is formable by randomness within the former. It is the expected outcome within our universe that stable structure propagate into something that doesn’t look or feel random. Whether you believe the entire universal rule system is intelligently designed is outside the observable scope of things for now so whatever. Sure. God, simulation, just being like it is. Whatever.
