In the 40 years that this journal has been in existence, we have had many articles dealing with the evidence that chance is not the cause of what we see in the natural world. Our use of the word “chance” in these articles has not always been clear, and some of our critics have justifiably complained about the use of the word. My response has always been that it means the process is without direction or purpose. The issue has been whether we can statistically and rationally believe that all we see around us in the natural world came to be spontaneously with no direction or intelligence involved in the process. The philosopher Peter van Inwagen said it this way: “The event of the state of affairs is without purpose or significance; it is not a part of anyone’s plan; it serves no one’s end; and it might very well not have been.”
