Order out of randomness

A friend has recently been exploring spirituality as a way of making sense of the world. His main argument for his exploration is that the world is too ordered to be a happy accident.

My own preference is for the theories of emergence trickling out these days from biology and sociology, from people like Barabi and from Johnson.

Then through Arts & Letters Daily, I found this article that makes a very coherent statement for the idea of the randomness of order and the impacts of that on religiosity.

Hopefully he reads it so we can continue our intense and enjoyable exchange on this topic. If you want to join in through the comments below, please do!
