Hi Peg,
My simple mind at work here, but how can there be design without a designer???
Is a water molecule something that is designed? At first glance it is just a rather unremarkable chemical, not even a pretty molecule, compared to the intricate patterns of other molecules. However it is one with some rather unique characteristics, several of them important to life as we know it, and without water being water life would not be like what we know as life - if it existed at all.
... how can there be design without a designer???
The pattern of a snowflake is individually intricate and symmetrical in several different ways, yet this is a result of the interaction of air, temperature and water molecules, those same water molecules necessary for our form of life.
Crystals often occur when water is extracted from minerals solutions, such as salt and sugar crystals, and these too have intricate patterns based on the atomic and molecular characteristics of the minerals in question.
Are we looking at design or the result of natural processes that occur time and again without any "touch" to get them going.
When we look through a kaleidoscope we see a pretty design, however when we look at the other end and inside, we see that it is a random jumble of irregular bits and pieces, and the cause of the pattern is the mirrors through which these bits are viewed.
Does that pattern really exist or is it a product of the way the bits and pieces are viewed?
Enjoy.
