To assimilate a mindless, chance process after a deliberate act of creation seems to be a paradoxical notion, replete with inconsistency and self-obviation. In other words, do we have a Watchmaker who designs as He intends, do we have a Blind Watchmaker that only exists as an abstract concept for chaos theory, or do we have a Watchmaker that blindfolded Himself after the inception of the first atom?
You realize that this is akin to the junior high atheist who thinks he has God trapped in a paradox by saying that, if God can do anything, He can make something so heavy he cannot lift it?
That jejune linquistic maneuver is not, of course, a valid argument for the nonexistence of God, and this back-door insistence that no self-respecting deity would allow chance in His universe is equally void.
BTW, what does "To assimilate a mindless, chance process...[etc]"
mean? Sounds like acid babble.
Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love at any time, madam, is all that distinguishes us from the other animals.
