Such an event would have involved a breathtaking increase in new information, and physics tells us clearly that mindless nature only degrades information.
Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig: An Intelligent Design Pioneer
Darwinism sounds superficially plausible until one looks at real plants and animals with their irreducibly complex details.
