INTRODUCTION

As we examine the claims of Evolutionary Thought and Theory, it is important to be aware of the fact that while Naturalism and Evolutionary Theory are founded upon the premise that all of life here on earth originated from a RANDOM CHANCE EVENT that started the process of life without an intelligent creator, the same people who have founded and support Naturalism and Evolutionary Theory have, for a long time, been seeking to find possible life forms in other parts of our galaxy and universe AS IF THE RANDOM CHANCE EVENT THAT STARTED LIFE COULD ALSO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT REPEATS ITSELF IN THE REST OF OUR KNOWN UNIVERSE.

But think about this for a moment: How can something that happens as a RANDOM CHANCE EVENT also be at the same time A REPEATABLE COMMON OCCURRENCE? Every known use of the principle of random chance in our world, and for that matter in our society, such as gambling, the lotto or sweepstakes, is based upon the fact that a system based on random chance choices is not intended to repeat itself to gain the same outcomes. Another thing to consider is the fact that all methods of gambling that involve random numbers, such as the lotto and slot machines, use a predetermined number of choices to choose from to result in a finite set of random numbers which can be thus gambled upon to result in some wins, but many losses. If the number of choices were not predetermined to result in a finite set, practically nobody would ever win at gambling. This shows that gambling, though it uses random chance, is also a result of intelligent design to make it possible for some gamblers to win. The point to be taken here is that in order for random chance to be useful to produce a desired outcome, it must be limited to a predetermined number of choices by intelligent design. No amino acids that spark life would be possible if left to an infinite number of circumstances and elements from which to stumble upon. Also, the same reasoning that was used to theorize how and when “organic goo” produced the first amino acids by random chance, also had to use an already known determined set of elements and catalysts to surmise how such a process could have occured. This presupposes what things had to be in the “organic goo” to start life. But that is not random chance! That is intelligent design! If we had started with the basic ingredients that exist within dishwashing liquid, would we then conclude that a proper catalyst would spark life? As far as I can tell, it is impossible to investigate the theory of random chance regarding the origins of life without bringing intelligent resources along to use in the investigation. There is no other way to compare existing evidences to possible theories in order to determine what possible outcomes would, or have, occurred that were a result of reactions between existing elements, and energies or intelligence that were involved in the origins of life. No, as long as there are intelligent agents (humans) who do the investigating using thinking minds, then Intelligent Design remains a reality that can not be avoided. No theories can exist without it. No evidence can be examined without I.D. to arrive at a conclusion. Unless you just don’t really want any answers, you must use I.D. in order to do your investigation, and you must consider I.D. itself as a possible reason for the source of our origins. Also, as was stated earlier, if random chance was the source of the beginnings of life, it would not be possible without the existence of Intelligent Design to limit the number of choices and to determine the finite set of circumstances and elements involved to actually make it happen.
