I think these claims all fail the "so what?" test. First, are we to really
believe that a plan can only exist if it is necessary? I don't think so.
Thus, that a plan is not necessary is hardly significant. Secondly,
even if a plan is somehow behind life, I do not think science is well-suited
for detecting it. Thus, these scientific conclusions relating to a plan are
not relevant.
