Stuart Kauffman who describes himself as an atheist says "it is more astonishing that universe exists without a creator"!

We have a radical incapacity to say how the biosphere and technology will evolve.

Man, he really does talk alot on an extremely diverse range of topics in a short time, it's hard to say anything about it without knowing more about what he means specifically and for what reasons.

Is that another way of saying that it seems less likely that a universe comes into existence in the absence of a creator

With a big emphasis on "seems." From what I can gather it looks to be another book on why it is homo sapiens have such a tough time grasping scientific explanations of reality, and how it may be possible to integrate the superstitious side of our evolutionary legacy with the non-intuitive reality that science demonstrates.

If he's planning on erecting the fatuous "design" assertion here, I'll warn him in advance not to bother, because it's been nuked numerous times in the past.

So what?

He's also clueless enough to say that secular humanists are essentially atheists.
