If the crane Dawkings refers to about natural selection is not operating or existing by chance, then some questions arise:1) who or what is operating the crane?2) if its self operating, how is it programmed to do so?3) who made the crane?And about designing the designer, No one did. Otherwise the crane would be lifting the operator of the crane into the crane. I guess the crane can operate by itself, but then stopped doing so when something designed the designer. Too many philosophical conundrums for me. The belief in an unified, and self-complete, creator is far less of a complex explanation than the 'crane' concept with all its requisite philosophical flamings hog's heads.
Bit by bit you may come to realise that complexity out of simplicity is much easier to comprehend than complexity from nowhere. The crane idea is from Daniel Dennet I think, and the boeing being assembled by chance is more or less what happened only bit by bit through evolution and natural selection. God is the complexity from nowhere to which I refer. Self-complete creator? did he make himself?
There are cranes, anchored to the ground which can build concepts up. However, the idea of a sky crane is how someone builds a concept from thin air. The ultra cosmic sky crane built it. That way you don't have to figure out a realistic way of building a theory.
