Ben Stein Narrates:

Professor Dawkins seemed so convinced that God doesn't exist that I wondered if he would be willing to put a number on it.

Dawkins: "Well, it's hard to put a figure on it, but I'd put it at something like 99% against or something like that."

Ben Stein: "Well, how do you know it's 99%?

Dawkins: " I don't."

Ben Stein: "and not, say, 97%?"

Dawkins: "You asked me to put a figure on it and I'm not comfortable putting a figure on it. I think it's, I just think it's very unlikely."

Ben Stein : "But you couldn't put a number on it?"

Dawkins: "No, of course not"

Ben Stein: "So it could be 49%?"

Dawkins: "Well, it would be, I mean I think it's unlikely, but it's quite far from 50%

Ben Stein: "How do you know?"

Dawkins: "I don't know... I mean, I put an argument in the book...."

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference....

Are extraterrestrial designers responsible for the universe?

Or maybe the elusive “crane” that cosmologists seek will be a version of Darwin’s idea itself; either Smolin’s model or something similar. Or maybe it will be the Multiverse plus Anthropic principle espoused by Martin Rees and others. It may even be a Superhuman designer ; but if so it will most certainly not be a designer who just popped into existence, or who always existed.

If ,which I don’t believe for a moment, our universe was designed, and a fortiori if the designer reads our thoughts and hands out omniscient advice, forgiveness and redemption, the designer himself must be the end product of some kind of cumulative escalator or crane, perhaps a version of Darwinism in another universe.
