Lets not forget my all time favorites, “coffee and cigarettes.”
You know, for that thing inside our own device.

The atmosphere is 21% O2 because that's the level where the factors of biological O2 production, biological O2 consumption, chemical recombination, and probably things that I don't understand reach a stable equilibrium. This happens to be just right for the animals living on the Earth's surface because those animals are evolved to use the oxygen present, which is 21%.

There are no other constants occurring that would result in such a thing. A random universe wouldn’t even have constant physical laws to have formed in the first place, it would be a real b_tch. Yesterdays tomorrows and today’s last years while up and down occur at the same time and sh_t.

We have a nose because some distant ancestor of mankind at the cellular level had a set of proteins designed to detect certain chemicals and other proteins as a survival instinct. As life evolved, a similar concept formed for multicellular organisms. Being able to detect changes in what chemicals are present in the air is a natural survival trait. Also, since the cavity where air is pumped into the lungs is naturally exposed to great quantities of air, it was the natural location for a chemical sensing organ. Hence, a nose.

Are you looking at what your saying while remembering there’s no direction for it to know how to do this or even that it needs to?

The reason Intelligent Design believers don't "get" evolutionary theory is because they assume right off the bat that something designed everything. Even when you state that your theory is based on there not being an intelligent designer, they continue to subconsciously assume one (hence the "mother nature" comment).

Whats not to get, anyone can make up a theory and prove it.
Lets see, I propose that photons are a byproduct of light and not light itself.
Hey, a few grants and a life’s work...
