How can something so beautiful be an accident...?

Not poverty, nor hunger, nor disease, nor the horrors of oppression and the evils of violence can keep the power of the beauty of the Grace of God from any of his people (in this specific case, perhaps blindness would of course).
The wealthiest, most intelligent and beautiful human beings in the world could potentially suffer the most painful and agonizing death while the poorest, most malnourished, scarred and oppressed may have the quickest, most painless death while sleeping. Nevertheless, our human fate is but a moment in the eternal life of our souls. In this we must trust our faith in the goodness of God.
Peace,
AAD

You ignore the forces that create symmetry in systems and call it an accident. Is it an accident that the Earth is spheroidal, or is it gravity? Is it an accident that the atmosphere follows the Earth's surface or is it gravity? Weather is a complex process and somewhat orderly patterns form. We find beauty when the order develops.

Who ever said it was an accident? Natural Selection doesn't say anything is an accident. Just that minor mutations WHICH MADE AN ORGANISM MORE FIT TO LIVE IN IT'S ENVIRONMENT eventually transformed into a different species. And if you consider that the universe has (presumably) always existed, this was bound to happen eventually.

"How can something so beautiful be an accident...?"
Beauty is a subjective word and it is in the eyes of the beholder.
If you think all this planet, solar and universe is pretty - good for you.
Personally I don't see it as beautiful or ugly - it just is.
And it's there to serve me.
You have no idea how cosmology, astronomy or evolution work so you have a fail safe answer that suits any circumstance you can't explain: God did it.
One size fits all.
How does the body make blood?
God does it.
How is a baby conceived?
God does it.
Is the universe contracting or expanding?
Dunno and it doesn't matter - god does what he does.
How does electricity work?
Dunno; god makes it work.
It's a one answer that fits anything YOU don't know or understand.
Glad scientists weren't relying on you to make any break throughs with treatments or cures to diseases that woulda killed you 100 years ago.
Other than that - keep it up.
My doctor says I gotta laugh more cos it's good for my health.
Thank YOU!

nature is sometimes extremely ugly too, but you will ignore that i guess. properly, there is no beauty or ugliness, good or evil in nature. they are human perceptions. i suspect that you will categorise everything that doesn't have a personal cause as an 'accident', perhaps because you just like the idea that the universe can be your buddy. but i wonder, is it an 'accident' that things fall down, or is it maybe an impersonal natural necessity, a law of nature if you will?

Your right - that is very beautiful. And there are millions and billions of other pictures that are equally beautiful.
But there are also pictures of children dying of starvation and disease. There are pictures of the people and villages that were wiped out by the Indian Ocean Tsunami. There are pictures of cancer eating people alive.
It's not all beautiful. How does your ID philosophy address these other pictures ?

Well, for one thing I do not see anyone pushing the clouds together, adjust the sun in the correct position and having a stoke standing there.
Therefore, it has to be a coincident and not an accident.

Are you referring to evolution? Because it is not a random process (i.e., accident).

'accident' is really not a very good description.
