Cracks me up how everyone seems to think this is the result of randomness and not of intelligent design.
It would be like finding a watch someone had dropped on the ground and being like, “Wow what an amazing invention! It must have evolved over several thousands of years until it was able to accurately track the time!”. Or thinking that a chaotic natural process like a tornado could somehow assemble a car if it blew through a junkyard. Both of these are ridiculous arguments, but that’s what people claim evolution is like. After all, given enough time anything is possible? Right?
And Voltaire did not know about all the maths behind matter and universe, the computer science behind DNA, the complexity of biochemistry...
To all the engineers here : work about causality, and the power of randmoness, be curious, do not take for granted evolution through randmoness, it makes no sense especially for an engineer who knows how codes work.
The idea must precede the code, and the right code can act upon the matter. The random code without idea has absolutely no chance to do anything valuable.
> a: something invented: such as (1): a device, contrivance, or process originated after study and experiment (2): a product of the imagination especially : a false conception[0]
Studying, experimenting, and imagining all require agency.
