For those who don’t know the context, here is a classic cite from Dawkins, in turn citing the late great Sir Fred Hoyle’s analogy of a tornado in a junkyard assembling a 747 by chance. This, reportedly, from The Blind Watchmaker (1987), p. 8:
In short, Q: is it reasonable to expect chance plus natural regularities acting with out intelligent direction to assemble complex, fine-tuned wholes based on many co-adapted components, even if the components are actually available in teh immediate vicinity?
