”Hvordan kan du se på verden og ikke tro at noen skapte den, tenkte den ut? Det er fantastisk!” smiler en annen.

Naturen planlegger intet, den folder seg ut, den utfolder seg. Det er derfor jeg avskyr kreasjonistene, fordi de reduserer skaperverket til en plan og Gud til den store planleggeren, som om Gud var en kopi av Le Corbusier.

Nei, Gud åpenbarer seg i skaperverket gjennom de 15 transformasjonene for helhet, som også viser at heller ikke evolusjonen er retningsløs.

I believe the fifteen transformations I have discovered will turn out to be naturally occurring, and necessarily occurring in all complex systems. The laws leading to their existence, will turn out, I think, to be inevitable or necessary results of the unfolding of wholeness, under the right conditions. And I believe, too, that our 20th-century notion that mechanical effects without the guiding influence of these fifteen transformations, can create the beautiful structures we encounter in the universe, is simply wrong. In other words, it is the action of wave motion, mitigated by the fifteen transformations, that creates the beauty of the breaking wave; it is the operation of natural selection, mitigated by the action of these fifteen transformations, which generates discernible and coherent forms in the play of genetics and evolution; I believe it is the operation and unfolding of the most ordinary flower or stem of grass, mitigated by the operation of the same fifteen transformations, which generates the beauty of the flower. I believe that it is the same fifteen transformations which mitigate and channel the crumbling and heaving and bending of the geologic strata which generated the beauty of the Himalaya; and these fifteen transformations, too, which mitigate the action and swirling of the vortices on Jupiter, or the rippled piebald configurations we call a mackerel sky. – Christopher Alexander, New Concepts in Complexity Theory, page 21
