“Intelligence,” OUT OF NOTHINGNESS!

[Harris]

I'm guessing that you didn't crib this info from anyone with even the most basic understanding of evolution. Who told you this?

To say that an unknown, unseen, and unplanned series of “simple, cumulative steps” which lead to a complex end is not random chance is nonsensical.
Without a design or purpose, natural selection is still a random process, regardless of any statements to the contrary. It can only be considered an “incredible stroke of luck” for evolution to reach any destination, especially one as lofty as the human being.

Its not an assertion. Evolution is only a Postulate, An Assumption that has nothing to do with conventional science. Did you ever ponder why it is a THEORY not a SCIENTIFIC FACT in modern scientific world?
Evolution and the theory of evolution are not the same things. In the same way that a bird is not the thought or name. Basic stuff. Evolution is an observation. Theory attempts to explain that observation. Evolution is, in fact, a fact. The theory is, and will likely remain, a theory - a working, falsifiable explanation for a set of facts. You take issue, and that's okay - it's even encouraged. Now get to falsifying. I'll lend you my shovel - because that's all you're going to require for a definitive rebuttal of the current model.

Clear that all up for you?

If you think Theory of Evolution is a scientific FACT then you have to show evidence for spontaneous generation of organized matter out of nothingness. You also need to give evidence for the matter becoming a living organism and evolve into a complex life form. Of course, all of this would need to happen without prior planning or the assistance of anyone or anything, either in the natural or supernatural realm.
