The science in "Life from scratch" (SN: 7/3/10, p. 22) is extremely interesting, and I look forward to hearing further results. However, a few comments in the article play into a common Intelligent Design error. The stated aim is "to show how unguided natural events might have led to life..."; the reference to "higgledy-piggledy chance" is in a similar vein. Both the atheistic attempts to infer lack of design from science and the Design advocate's attempts to claim holes in scientific explanation are based on the erroneous assumption that natural causes equal lack of guidance.
