Thanks for that Craig as I am not really up with the latest in Chaos theory etc as it is an interest outside my specialised field of Structural Molecular Biology.
What is important here that science can say nothing about any faith. What people wish to believe about the supernatural is completely outside science by simple definition.
Neither should blind faith interfere with any science when it does not match their limited or primitive world view. Here they are on shaky ground as evidence should trump the nonsensical versions they hold about reality.
We have enough knowledge now to explain how the Universe ticks from the Big Bang all the way to the complexities we see now in biological systems. This of course includes us. It does not need a supernatural force or being to drive anything.
Who knows what we can discover once quantum computing becomes mainstream. My guess is that it will show that the whole Universe is a quantum computer. It may even be self referential.
Is our consciousness part of the calculations or the final output? Only the mice really know!
