What the God debate is really about

[Rayaan]

Must correct you. No, what I'm saying is not like the monkey typing scenario. What I'm saying to Rayaan is that the only reason there are complex things are because of entropy and statistics, as revealed by modern physics, since it is a statistical fact that there is innumerably more ways to be more disordered than to be ordered. The Big Bang was an inflation from a comparitively much more ordered state, and the only reasons very complex things like life or consciousness can exist in our unuverse is because of the high entropy of the universe and its [current] lack of thermal equilibrium.

So you're saying that it is the high entropy that leads to the emergence of very complex things.

But in my opinion, it sounds highly counter-intuitive that the concept of entropy (i.e. the tendency to go from being orderly to disorderly) is the source of complexity, considering the fact that there is innumerably more ways to be more disordered than to be ordered as you just wrote above. I just don't understand how that makes sense. And secondly, to my knowledge, scientists don't actually know what exactly causes complexity to arise. Complexity is still a mystery which many scientists are investigating and thinking about.

Now the coolest thing is ... well, I don't know if you'll believe what I'm about to tell you, but I have a severe form of "hand tremors" which sometimes cause my fingers to move up and down like crazy: I just sat and I simply put my hand on top of the keyboard, and then my fingers started moving up and down on the keyboard. Somehow the chaotic movement of my fingers produced all the words that you see in this post right now. Amazing, right?

I mean, it's a statistical fact that there is innumerably more ways for this post to have been a meaningless string of letters than to be coherent. But, apparently, it turned out to be the exact opposite. Can you believe that?

^ The improbability of that happening is too ... damn ... high!!!
