September 8 "The Product of Purposeful Intelligence"

 "The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 zeros after it. It is enough to bury Darwin and the whole General Theory of Evolution. There was no primordial soup, neither on this planet nor any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must, therefore, have been the product of purposeful intelligence." Sir Frederick Hoyle (1915-2001 from his book Evolution from Space - 1984

Dennis Edwards: Hoyle was an atheist, but because of the mathmatical complications of life from the discovery of the DNA, he came to the conclusion that life did not arise of its own accord from a non directed Darwinian process. He developed the idea of panspermia, the idea that life was seeded from outer space by a higher intelligence. He was not accepted by the Darwinian evolutionary scientific community and denied a Nobel Prize because of his vehement attacks upon evolutionary theory. He is often quoted by creationist scientist because of his colorful arguments against random evolutionary theory.
