Jamie Gillespie is a computer science major, which makes this all the more inexplicable:

The discussion reminds me of a church sermon which made an indelible impression on me early last year: The chances of life beginning randomly and evolving from a spec into what we know today is less likely than a junk yard full of scraps assembling itself into an artistic masterpiece. In other words, it's just not possible.

Of course, this is a classic misrepresentation of how natural selection actually works.

But what's more worrying is the lack of imagination: you would think that a computer science major would be familiar with cellular automata and genetic algorithms, and be more receptive to the idea of complexity generated from simplicity.
