"The old Monkey war is still going strong, Master, the creationists trying to get the law on their side against the scientists. Here is the Daily Telegraph of Juli 31 1989."
"Ah, but have you seen the 'Nature' of 28 April 1988 (332 page 774)? There is a good argument in it. The reasoning goes as follows.
'If some god has created life, so far so good. But who created that god? You might say: he did it by himself, but then, why cannot life has done the same?'
Order in Nature, has often been used as a proof of an ordener, a god, but since we know that it is WE that make the order, this proof is invalid. It is the old confusion of causes with effects and vice versa, of effects with causes that is in play here. Why do colours NEVER clash in Nature? Not because Nature has such admirable sense for harmony, but because WE have developed in a Nature with no other combinations. OUR aesthetical appreciations are caused by Nature itself, and we can make colour clash, only, when we use UN-Natural combinations. Is it not thoughtful of Nature not to allow the harmful ultra violet rays to penetrate the atmosphere? No. We have evolved on a planet that was not bathed in these harmful rays. The Way, sometimes, may be thought well, while traveling in the opposite direction."
