David: My contention is that inorganic plasma of the early universe could not invent consciousness and the intelligence therein by chance. C&I had to already exist and simply re-created itself through an evolution of the universe. > - A better question is, how could we get to a state of inorganic plasma without the laws that govern the formation of inorganic plasma already in effect? How can you have a law without intelligent formation of said law? No matter which way we go, we will wind up in a series of infinite regressions, which become less and less answerable with each successive step.
