Dr. Fred Hoyle, the infamous astronomer known for his agnostic views (he's not sure there is a God), recognized that there was something a bit mysterious about our universe when he said: "A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature." He also noted the improbability of higher forms of life being randomly created when he stated: "The chance that higher life forms might have emerged through evolutionary processes is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the material therein." So then, why does Dr. Francis Collins believe in God to explain this point, but Dr. Fred Hoyle does not? This "The Christian Decision".
Let's be scientifically honest with ourselves, the probability of having life arise to greater and greater complexity and organization by chance is the same probability of having a tornado tear through a junkyard and form out the other end a Boeing 747.
