Oh, here I'll break it down for you.
First, I appreciate that you surveyed a physics course, all of that experience with theodelites, inclinometers, trigonometry and geodesy could come in handy if, say, you need to survey the Indian subcontinent.
If the premise is that we live in an entropic universe and that all resultant processes are thermodynamically entropic (no outside energy introduced, no "design", pure randomness) then we would not expect self-organizing systems to appear. The idea that self-organized organic processes appeared on Earth spontaneously is problematic. Energy was added and that energy appears to have been directed with intent.
It was perhaps not Jesus, the apostles or God as primitive man has conceived but certainly energy was added to the system and the energy was directed with intent.
Now freethinker and stu and others will follow with dozens of posts employing words like pseudo-science and other philosphical improvisations but little of what they say has any basis in hard science. They like to yammer about it and this is the forum for such blatherings so no worries. But don't tell me that a huge cauldron of boiling random inorganic compounds leads to cellular life because I know it is malarkey.
I personally believe in a multiverse with the power of infinity at work. There are an infinite number of universes and a fraction of infinity is...infinity. So if a fraction of universes possess life then and there are an infinite number of them. I find this comforting given that the expansion of our universe means a cold, dark end for anything living in the distant future. The stars fly away from one another and eventually burn up all of their fuel. Our universe ends at absolute zero temperature and completely dead.
The End.
