'Group Supports Idea Universe Is Designed by God: Intelligent Design group
says life's complexity proves an intricate plan.'

From the article:
-------------------------------
In a meeting room of the Marriott in Lake Mary, Walter Bradley flashed one
PowerPoint screen after another to build his case that the universe was
deliberately planned.

"An orderly universe is one described by mathematics. The universe is so
profoundly elegant in form, it can be described in five equations," said
Bradley, professor of engineering at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. A
set of five calculus equations appears on the screen, including Einstein's
famous e = mc2.

Apparently not many in the audience of more than 200 were mathemeticians.

There were bemused looks, but most continued to listen raptly as Bradley
reached his conclusion that human life is not the product of random natural
forces but designed by God, a conclusion that Bradley terms "rational."

Mr. Rice --
Thank you for your e-mail.

Greetings. Thank you for the reply.

I'm not familiar with your organization or your credentials, but as to your
assertion that no scientist has ever claimed the universe was the product
of chance, I am puzzled. Particularly some of the scientists you named --
especially Dawkins, but also Gould and others -- subscribe to a materialist
philosophy of science, which states that the physical laws and properties
of the universe occurred and evolved in an entirely random fashion.

Please produce a valid quote from any of these scientists who have made
such a claim. (Please note: you cannot do so.)
Science is predicated upon the NONRANDOM nature of the universe: the four
forces and all phenomena in the universe follow precise, non-random behavior.
No modern scientist (within the last 100 years and more) would ever claim a
"random" component, other than certain quantum behavior. Indeed, quantum
non-linear indeterminism is still utterly non-random cumulatively.

Dawkins has been quoted as saying that if the events of the universe,
starting with the Big Bang, were replayed a million times, it is unlikely
that life as we know it would exist in any one of those million tries.

Exactly true: he is correct.

If that's not a position embracing chance, I don't know what is.

Ah, okay, I see the problem. You have equated chaos with "random
chance." Please understand that the two are not the same. Randomness
does not occure in nature, other than MAYBE cvertain sub-atomic
interactions (and even they are cumulatively deterministic). All
events in the universe follow precise rules, and therefore all
events are deterministic; that does not mean they cannot be chaotic.
Evolutionary processes are not random: they are chaotic--- two
vastly different things.

It is
precisely this emphasis on randomness and chance that so disturbs people of
faith -- lay persons such as Mr. Spearman, but also Christian scientists
such as Prof. Behe -- and that is why they are engaged in the (admirable,
in my view) enterprise of trying to reconcile the findings of science with
what they believe.

Certainly reverends are "disturbed" upon finding their beliefs poorly
grounded upon the facts. This is why their opinions on subjects of
science are, as they should be, ignored.

By the way, Dr. Behe has often said he does not agree with Young Earth
Creationists. He is also wrong about his odd "Irreducible Complexity"
beliefs: his IC argument is based upon personal ignorance, which is a
very weak argument indeed.

Before you claim that the press is inaccurate, you should do your homework.

Please do not attempt an insult where it does not apply. You are 100%
wrong when you assert scientists believe the universe and life is the
result of "random chance."
