I don't think this is true. Where did you get the idea that many people believe this?
But the question at hand is whether such a system is capable of producing life from non-life.
No, that was not the question at hand. Please don't make things up.

But if God intelligently designed evolution then doesn't that mean evolution has some sort of inherent intelligence of some kind? In which case doesn't that mean evolution can produce order from chaos?
Why would God need to design evolution if he created the universe in 6 days?

Do you think gravity could create life from non-life?

By that definition of intelligence, all higher mammals, including humans, lack intelligence.

Are you saying that human's will never create life in the laboratory?

I think i created life in my tpoilet an hour ago.. it was a scarry beast of imesurable size and ferosity of rank... it had to be euthanized though... it was threatening to overtake the world with a rank unbeknown to mankind...🙄

Yes, as the rest of the post said, by offsetting the order from another subsystem.
I was questioning whether the "offsetting" process required any intelligence.
Basically I am questioning whether such a system could produce life from non-life without intelligent intervention.

By simply replying your question I have used 'intelligence' and 'radom data' to produce an ordered response which is useful in contributing to answering your question.

You sure have a vivid imagination. Only problem is you used intelligence.

Isn't it really simply a transfer of energy.
The basic elements of life Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen are either formed in the Big Bang (Hygrogen) or aproximatelly the same size stars.
Clouds of organic compounds have been discovered in space, attesting to the availablility of them to be in the matter that formed the earth.
Is it only a coincidence that Life is made of the elements that make up the ecosphere?

What caused the big bang? If there was such a thing...

You don't know what caued the big bang, but still you insist there was one?
Well, I also believe that there was a big bang. But my big bang is slightly different from yours. I know what caused my big bang. I believe God spoke, and BANG! it happened...

There isn't any math to back that statement up.
Ekpyrotics is a more likely and even predicts what was before the scientific equivelent to " In the Begining...."
Can information increase?
