    The tornado in a junkyard thing is rubbish. For one thing, there is a small chance that you could assemble a car with that method, but it's assumed to be effectively impossible (which it obviously is). Secondly, if you were talking about the Universe, then the claim is that it appears to obey physical laws, and hence is not truly random. Claiming that these laws must be the influence of a deity is to fall grossly short of attempting to find an answer. There's simply no evidence. If however, you were talking about living creatures then the junkyard is even more useless as an analogy, considering that the process of evolution is NOT random. Mutations within genetic code are random, but only those which offer a genetic advantage will be passed on.

    Also, that number 9 video was the most pointless thing I have ever seen. It's literally just showcasing a property of using the decimal system of numbers. The 360 degrees in a circle is COMPLETELY ARBITRARY, not an emergent property of a circle. Considering that it is divisible by 9, it's not surprising that the digits of the small angles add to 9. That the products of 9 have digits that sum to equal 9 is literally like year 2 maths. If we chose, say, 400 to be the number of degrees in a circle, none of it works. But sure, lets assume that this is some cosmic conspiracy, and that circles MUST have 360 degrees (like other units for angle, i.e. radians, don't exist), and that numbers MUST be represented in decimal (like other base systems are somehow less divine).

    Can lock now :/
