I wish I lived in the universe where the resident dheddle chose not to read the MWI post on UD or at least chose not to follow the link to here where I read: Quote | What many ID advocates fail to realize is that even this latest, exponential widening (to infinity and beyond!) of the ever-growing "pool of chance" that materialists have drawn from to rationalize the presence of humans and human mind in a material universe, only argues for the validity and usefulness of the intelligent design theory in this universe!
Obviously, if everything had to be ordered (let's say by necessity of the existence of infinite variations of universe) in a precise way, and sequenced in a precise way as if there was intelligence ordering it in order to arrive at human existence and mind, then any model that used chance or non-directed probability would ultimately fail and be lacking compared to an ID model that was based on specifically ordered events that were goal-oriented.
The MWI argument is that out of infinite non-productive variations of universes we have one (or more, but we're in this one) that by chance is so ordered and specific that it has generated product (intelligent, conscious life forms with incredibly specified, complex biologies that are manifest from coded instructions) that utterly defies random, non-directed modeling, as well as an anthropic universe that utterly defies random, non-directed modeling.
Even if our universe is the necessary chance result of infinite, many-world iterations of universes, intelligent design would necessarily be a far better model of description and analysis than non-directed models in many scientific ventures, because an ID model would more accurately describe the incredibly ordered, highly-improbable patterns of supposed "chance" outcomes in this particular universe.

This kind of arguing reminds me of one of my favorite short stories, the infinite library of Borges's The Library of Babel. By construction every book was there, including the book that explained the library--but alas also an infinite number of books that credibly refuted the true explanation.
-------------- Mysticism is a rational enterprise. Religion is not. The mystic has recognized something about the nature of consciousness prior to thought, and this recognition is susceptible to rational discussion. The mystic has reason for what he believes, and these reasons are empirical. --Sam Harris
