> DAVID: Hoyle's beliefs about the universe:
> " The Intelligent Universe
"the vast unlikelihood that life, even on a cosmic scale, arose from non-living matter". It is apparent that the origin of life is overwhelmingly a matter of arrangement by intelligent control. Unintelligent natural selection is only too likely to produce an unintelligent result (my bolding) "I am not a Christian."-Nor am I.-> 
> dhw:I presume you mean NOT all the way to a God.....However, if Hoyle stops short, as do so many of the scientists you quote in your support, perhaps the doubt is more fundamental than residual!-We can only guess as to why he stopped just short. Perhaps from incredulity, which appears to be your problem.
