The process of evolution remains one of immense improbability...It still looks more like something intentionally brought about, albeit in a roundabout way, then like a series of accidents.

When we compute probabilities, we use different formulas to determine the probability that a dandilion will show up on our lawn vs. the probability that one will grow precisely five feet due south of the southwest corner of the third flagstone of the walkway.

Of course it's immensely improbable that evolution, left to its own devices, produced us. Of course it's more likely that intelligent design produced us. But if you consider the probability that evolution produced some kind of intelligent creature, not necessarily us, your odds go way up. There could be some green and orange striped creatures with seven legs, twelve eyes, and no teeth contemplating, in our stead, how they were created in God's image and likeness.
