    Merely because we haven't learned how to do something, doesn't mean that it requires a separate "intelligent agent" to do it. We just need to keep trying until we learn.

    Given all of the brilliant minds who have been trying unsuccessfully to do so almost a century now, what chance does random probability have?

    The issue isn't whether or not the process can be deciphered but whether or not it could have come about by pure accident. Given that it's proven impossible for today's brilliant minds to make one, this would seem to make a very strong case for a vastly superior Intelligent Agent being responsible for the existence of life instead of random probability :)

    As it stands now, it requires the same intelligent but silent agent, if any, to answer this question.
    But, even if She does, the questions ain't going to stop there. The why of the why still remain. We are still at the How and a long way away from it. Even when we do, it would be like building a toy helicopter for a college project.
    Also, the point is not about who is right, evolution or intelligent agent. It's about whether either of them has all the answers till the last drill down, the hows and whys of the entire machine called Creation. Right now, neither of them do, they know they don't, yet they are busy showing how the other doesn't. Like children fighting on sand castles on the sea shore.
    Which is why both explorations are worthwhile. Even if it's not entirely logic or entirely belief. As long as the questions are pursued, even the pursuits are exhilarating enough.

    Because no one with the intellectual aptitude has tried it yet!

    You're not talkig about random probability...You're wondering who on Earth has the brains, the ingenuity, and the willingness to give it a go!
