It can, however, be useful when discussing a Grand Intelligence...unless you mean simply an intelligence more evolved than other carbon-based life forms. If you mean an intelligence capable of creating all things seen and unseen, chemicals are hardly the default assumption. Oh yeah I forgot----you tend to imagine that In The Beginning was chemicals! No wonder you limit yourself. You Grovel at the Altar Of Evidence. And you seem to view Belief almost as the Anti-Evidence.
But maybe thats just my observation. I appreciate evidence, but it is hardly a prerequisite for my world view.
In fact, I myself summarized my belief system:
Normally, in every instance, reality does not equate or involve fantasy.
Gambling is a fantasy. BigFoot is a fantasy. (mythos)
Loch Ness. Elvis being alive.
Friendly or hostile Aliens is mid-level consideration, and may or may not be real.
God, Creator of all seen and unseen, the One whom I was introduced to through church, is the one exception. God can transcend both reality and fantasy.
Anything is possible with God. There are no limits.
Thus, as Grand Intelligence, God writes the very rules of physics. God defines words. God made the original chemicals and is not bound by a need to be composed of them. God is imagination writ large.
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. ~RC Sproul
