Magic embryology: placenta maintains symmetry (Introduction)
HW: Firstly, I was correcting Tony: irreducible complexity is a theory not a fact. Nobody knows how all these complexities arose, and the argument that we cannot “show” an evolutionary pathway from one organ or organism to another can be applied to any theory: e.g. you cannot “show” an unknown source-less power designing every single complexity. We ONLY have theories. May I ask if you find Tony’s “spawning” theory logical?
The options for DHW's question always seem to devolve to:
Is it more plausible that:
- A) The laws of govern all energy, matter, and information, spontaneously spring into existence followed by, or perhaps part and parcel with, all matter becoming simultaneously intelligent and then said intelligent matter communicated and designed, all life, with its vastly more complex systems, and so on.
- B) A single intellect emerged once out of eternal form of energy, taking time beyond measure to become capable of bringing another single entity into existence, both of which were energy and information only (non-material). The two intelligences over time, worked together to develop/birth/spawn more similar to themselves (non-material), eventually learning to manifest energy and information into the material universe we know.
- C) Flip a coin...there was no intelligence, guidance, planning, or outside influence at all. Stuff just happened.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
