A Sunday contemplation...

Richard Dawkins has said that if a tornado flying through a junkyard and creating a Boeing 747 is improbable, then how much more improbable must it be for God to have created the universe?

I would say that if you are a reasonable and rational person not solely dependent on empirical evidence then to you a tornado flying through a junkyard and creating a Boeing 747 is not only improbable, it's impossible. Yet the Boeing 747 not only exists... it exists deliberately. The very nature of its existence is deliberate.

If the existence of a mere Boeing 747 is deliberate, then how much more deliberate might the existence of the universe and all life within it be? Does the brain of the creator of a Boeing 747 somehow exist less deliberately than the Boeing 747 it deliberately created?

Just as a "bitcoin" is the abstract proof of a miner's work, maybe "human beings" are the abstract proofs of God's work. A blockchain/universe, a wallet/earth, and a bitcoin/human being. Maybe we are God's bitwatts.
