magic, deity or an alive "nature" did it?

LATimes discussing the latest Nobel Prize. 

I'll have to read about what it actually was about later, but the firstparagraph in the article says:


 
Since the dawn of life on our planet, 3.7 billion years ago, nature has used the power of evolution to create a vast diversity of molecules with an ever-increasing array of chemical capabilities.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Science awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday to three scientists who have harnessed that power and sped it up, allowing them to create never-before-seen chemical reactions in a process called directed evolution.


uh, nature is not able to do anything. the "breakthru" of Darwin was that things just happened due to chance, with no plan at all.

the "power" of evolution is a meaningless phrase. It merely suggests that evolution is a force, no just randomness that sort of just happens.

IF you think Nature did these things, you assume something is directing these things: i.e. God.

the forbidden word that Darwin's followers preferred to ignore and censor.

And if Nature did these things, you have to assume there is a plan behind life, and things are not just random.
