I don't believe in God in the Biblical sense, but I find it impossible to believe that ever more complex, intricate, and purposeful biological processes evolved absolutely at random. That's akin to believing, in my view, that if the sands of the Sahara blew for a billion years, they could eventually assemble themselves into a Rolls Royce.

Wings: how do you explain the evolution of wings solely as the result of the process of natural selection? How many millions of failures would have to take place to produce the single first success? And how could all of those failures continue to press toward success without any of the positive feedback of success, generation after generation? There's no such thing as "sort of" flying. You either have wings that work or you don't.

There has to be an intentionality of some kind that we don't understand, in my view.
