DUCKS ON FROZEN LAKE

As ducks congregate on the frozen lake, I am struck once again by the degree to which self-organization saturates every sphere of existence, from interstellar to subatomic levels. That manifestation negates random chance as the principal organizational fact for existence of life. Random chance may well be 1/64 of the cluster, as ancient Egyptian sages had held, and demonstrated with their depictions in eye glyphs, but that ancient fact also derides Charles Darwin's work, which had elevated random chance, or natural selection, as it is called, to primacy!
