About the design argument:
Here we are free in our interpretation...
If we take mathematic itself , is a circle a specified complex design born from chance ? Yes and no...
We can compute the value of pi by a random throwing of needdles : "To calculate pi from the needle drops, one must take the number of drops, multiply this by two, then divide by the number of times it crosses the line. This only works so simply when the distance between the lines is equal to the length of the needle."
Is it not miraculously surpising in a way , and in another way a trivial fact ?
We can always interpret facts in the world or design as random or as designed...Because we can always choose one perspective over the other... But there is a SOURCE for all these possible choices and interpretation, a limit to randomness and a sterility of pure order and to level of orderliness ...
Why ?
Take the prime numbers distribution is it random ?
Not at all if we look at it from one side of the lens ... It is an increasing rythmed sequence ..But if we look on the other side of the lens by reversing it , they appear in a way random...
"Prime numbers, of course, are not really random at all — they are completely determined. Yet in many respects, they seem to behave like a list of random numbers, governed by just one overarching rule: The approximate density of primes near any number is inversely proportional to how many digits the number has."
now read this :
« Two mathematicians have uncovered a simple, previously unnoticed property of prime numbers — those numbers that are divisible only by 1 and themselves. Prime numbers, it seems, have decided preferences about the final digits of the primes that immediately follow them.
Among the first billion prime numbers, for instance, a prime ending in 9 is almost 65 percent more likely to be followed by a prime ending in 1 than another prime ending in 9. In a paper posted online today, Kannan Soundararajan and Robert Lemke Oliver of Stanford University present both numerical and theoretical evidence that prime numbers repel other would-be primes that end in the same digit, and have varied predilections for being followed by primes ending in the other possible final digits.
“We’ve been studying primes for a long time, and no one spotted this before,” said Andrew Granville, a number theorist at the University of Montreal and University College London. “It’s crazy.”
The discovery is the exact opposite of what most mathematicians would have predicted, said Ken Ono, a number theorist at Emory University in Atlanta. When he first heard the news, he said, “I was floored. I thought, ‘For sure, your program’s not working.’”
This conspiracy among prime numbers seems, at first glance, to violate a longstanding assumption in number theory: that prime numbers behave much like random numbers. Most mathematicians would have assumed, Granville and Ono agreed, that a prime should have an equal chance of being followed by a prime ending in 1, 3, 7 or 9 (the four possible endings for all prime numbers except 2 and 5).
“I can’t believe anyone in the world would have guessed this,” Granville said. Even after having seen Lemke Oliver and Soundararajan’s analysis of their phenomenon, he said, “it still seems like a strange thing.”
Yet the pair’s work doesn’t upend the notion that primes behave randomly so much as point to how subtle their particular mix of randomness and order is. “Can we redefine what ‘random’ means in this context so that once again, [this phenomenon] looks like it might be random?” Soundararajan said. “That’s what we think we’ve done.” »

What means this discovery to me ?
It means primes are resembling music more than perfect order or perfect randomness...
Primes distribution is an ABSOLUTE not created by anyone but DISCOVERED like a tree at a crossroad, an absolute increasing rythm beyond determined order or beyond randomness..
no one ever designed or created the primes , they are discovered or not... Any extraterrestrials or any angels cannot do anything save discovering them...
not only they are the most complex symbolic object of the universe , but also the simplest one....
I call the primes a potential specified complex information set undesigned by any finite mind but reflecting the universal knowledge body...It is my free choice and free will interpretation... There will be no proof or disproof of this interpreted fact which is for me an evidence... Living Cosmic memory .... Now i can be wrong, but it is my belief and experience...
We dont need logical proof for design nor for god existence... Because there exist a musical line encompassing and relating all phenomena of the universe... It cannot be randomness and it cannot be determined order... It can only be a growing infinite melody...
As Peirce said truth is in the fecondity of the consequences... A Pragmatic Theory of Truth holds (roughly) that a proposition is true if it is useful to believe. Peirce and James were its principal advocates. Utility is the essential mark of truth.
Then as Christ said we are free to choose , but beware, we recognize the tree as his fruits can give...
