So what you'd like us to do is wax philosophic, ay? Okay, let me give this a try.
In the extreme, both intelligent design and chaos theory produce the same consequence; there isn’t a thing anyone can do to change what will come.
Intelligent design suggests that everything occurs because a power greater than us is controlling what happens. That power does everything based on an end result they have in mind. As a consequence, we humans, collectively or as individuals, no matter how hard we try, cannot achieve a desired result unless that result is consistent with that of the greater power’s desired end result.
Chaos theory suggests everything just happens. No reason, logic, or design is involved. Therefore, no matter what we do, the outcome will be a random happenstance.
Am I on the right track?
The difference between Genius and Stupidity is that Genius has its limits. |
