To all the materialists who think the incredible designs of nature - including on fish, birds, flowers and even caterpillars - emerge from nothing more than the most reductionist scientific evolutionary forces, I joyously disagree with you.

I shouldn’t have used the word “reductionist” that way. The people criticizing me on that one are right. My bad. Sorry.

It is a faith-based belief that evolution, life and consciousness can be fully explained by currently known physical phenomena. There very well could be underlying informational processes at work in the universe. Subatomic particles have vast informational/computational capacity.

See, I still love you because even where we disagree...strongly...we are not disagree-able

I think the scientific evolutionary forces are pretty darn awe inspiring and wondrous!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Simple rules like evolution by natural selection explain the complexity quite well, and that may be even more amazing than if the complexity required complex rules.
