Why the Universe Cannot Have Arisen by Chance

(and I trust you do not take any of the above as a personal attack, just my perspective on the issue)

LOL. I am fine with personal attacks, just not as a substitute for reasoned rebuttal.

Which is the more plausible?
Since there is no proof of either, we must choose based on evidence and reason.

Here, I am speaking only of the choice between the binary alternatives,
the the universe is, or is not, designed by randomness.

This does not rebut what you said, it just narrows the focus of my argument.

Thanks for your perspective, Ashvin!

No problem! To me, "designed by randomness" is always an impossibility by meaning of the concepts (assuming standard meanings).
