In the quest for the understanding of natural phenomenon, humans had to contend with cultural paradigm that inevitably coloured the narrative. For example the caveman attempting to explain the rain would have espoused such self evident premises of his cultural paradigm as 'everything heavy falls down' or 'anything heavy that poised to fall must have been raised to that position by some force': resulting in such creative explanations as rain gods.
The cultural paradigm as we know, later shifted to other self evident Newtonian premises. In this paradigm the case of falling objects, say an apple, is attributed to other creative and fanciful ideas like gravitational force. Keeping the spirit of discovery of the generation, the case of ascertaining the role of chance or luck in the evolution of life on earth is a worthy realm of investigation. Not surprisingly, the improbability of life in all its complexity arising from mechanistic actions in the primitive ocean, arouse in both the creationists and the positivists much creativity. The line of reasoning followed by both camps will inevitably suffer from a lack of clarity. This is because they both suffer from the same shortcoming. That they are both limited by the Newtonian paradigm.
