Happenstance is like the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747. You have probably already. However, DNA molecules are very complex. Complex enough that they must have been designed by some intelligence.
If the cosmos is designed, how come so much occurs by happenstance? Why is our solar system a hodge-podge of asteroids, gas clouds, and comets? If it were designed, wouldn't it more resemble the model of heavenly spheres put forth by Ptolemy? You look at what is orderly in the universe and ignore what is disorderly. If it is all by a cosmic designer, why are some parts of the universe so messy?
