Two examples. Watson of DNA double helix fame, and astronomer Sir Fred Hoy!e, both came to the conclusion that the fine tuning of the universe, was such mathematical improbability, that both decided that a designer, a miracle was required.
But, their scientific straight jackets forbade either of them from considering any cause for life on Earth other than from within the universe.
And so both suggested that an alien race had seeded the Earth in the distant past.
It makes you laugh doesn't it?
Another interesting claim came from Stephen Hawking, who said as long as there is gravity, the universe will create itself.
And what is gravity but the bending of spacetime by the presence of mass.
So as far as Hawking was concerned, there had to be a few ingredients thrown into the mix, that he could not exp!ain, but dear God, don't mention God.
