explaining wondrousness

 


Listening to an interview with atheistic biologist Richard Dawkins.

The nearest I can ascertain is that he believes the universe was created by something untestable and undefined which he calls a quantum fluctuation.

He insists that everything exists by chance, ie that the eternally existing Quantum Fluctuation couldn't have made anything on purpose.

He believes he knows this.

He also insists that life itself began spontaneously by chance through a still unknown physical process.

"Well, well, well," I muse aloud to the beagle, the parrot, the budgie and the sheepdog. "It looks like Mr Dawkins is relying rather heavily on the biochemistry of the gaps."
