Very nicely put. In the article that started all this, there is a quote from Linnaeus - “God created, Linnaeus organised,” he immodestly told people."
I don’t think humans, as a group, are comfortable with the ideas of randomness, chance etc. Or, if you like, an element of chaos. Like you, I see Life existing in a somewhat chaotic manner, with nothing certain, nothing “organized”. In a state of flux. As a side issue, I think this is why people have a hard time accepting things like climate change. It’s random, slow, and uncertain. If it was more rhythmic and predictable, I suspect more folks would be on board.
These are my beliefs, by the way. I have no proof - it’s just how I understand the world around me.
