台词：
design does not need an active, interfering designer. it's an inherent part of the universe.
one of the things that makes people so uncomfortable. about this idea of, if you will, spontaneous pattern formation, is that somehow other you don't need a creator. But perhaps a really clever designer. what he will do is to treat the whole universe like a gaint simulation, where you set some initial condition, and just let the whole thing spontaneously happen. In all of its wonder and all of its beauty.
the mathmatics of pattern formation shows that the same kind of pattern can show up in an enormous range of different physical, chemical, biological systems. somewhere deep down inside is happening for the same mathmetical reason. implicit in those facts are these beautiful patterns that we see everywhere. this i think is a mind blowing thought.
so what is the ultimate lesson we can take from all this. well it's all the complexity of the universe, all it's infinite richness. emerges from mindless simple rules, repeated over and over again. but remember powerful though this process is. it's also inherently unpredictable.
