Is it more likely for organic life to be designed or came about by chance?

In short, you are wrong and the answer to the thread title is that it was not designed, but it was not pure randomness either -- chemical processes became self-sustaining and replicating etc. and added on to each other and eventually became recognizable life forms.

And you base this off what kind of scientific study? I would like to see it. You must know something scientists don't know.

 

Oosnap,

I assume that you are not heavily into science. Neither am I. Therefore, I look to experts and generally trust their opinion on topics like biology.

This is what you are doing here. The difference is, I believe evolution to be the case, because the vast majority of scientists around the world back it up. And I mean the vast, vast majority.

You, on the other hand, seem to have backed intelligent design. I would further that you do so not because that is the general consensus in the scientific community, but rather because it is aligned with your personal religious views on the matter. Therefore, you are choosing a side because it works well with you as a person, not because the rational part of your brain is in agreement.
