The “Complexity” argument for intelligent design never made sense to me. We can only observe one reality. It could be “complex” or it could be “simple,” we can’t know since we have nothing to compare it to.

IOW, asserting something is “complex” begs the question, “Compared to what?”

Compared to the countless universes in which life never arose!

(The Anthropic Principle)

Thus, I agree with you!

Compared to what mere chance examples. Meanwhile, to deny that an exceedingly vast, well-ordered, systematic universe, finely tuned for extensive earthly life with its exquisite diversity and astounding complexity, came to be by purely natural powers, without a supreme intelligence behind it, itself requires much faith. As said above.

What?

the inability to re-CREATE anything using the formula(s) put forward by those who have simplistic theories.
