Because there are probably an uncountable number of different turns life could have made instead to lead to dramatically different outcomes. Life iterates on itself. Mutations on top of mutations. Mitochondria could have just as easily never been enveloped by our eukaryotic ancestors and life would look a hell of a lot different today.
- colordrops 2y agoHaving a high cardinality of permutations doesn't say anything one way or another about the probability of life arising. it's just hand waving.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoI’m not arguing about life merely arising. I’m arguing about the unlikelihood of our idea of intelligence.
- colordrops 2y ago"merely" arising. As if it were a simple process itself. Couldn't your argument be applied to either?
