Of course those controls exist, but I ask you again, is it likely they developed through a chance evolutionary process or were they there from the start? I don't accept that such mechanisms are self-developed. Their presence makes for enormous genomic complexity, beyond Darwin's own imagination, far beyond the possibility it all developed by chance with no purpose.-What are the chances of some universal intelligence doing it?-Are you stepping away from the definition of chance ... ie something we can't predict accurately?-Essentially you seem to be arguing that this universe has a purpose. Personally I don't see it other than the purpose we may ascribe to it.
