It was Sir Fred Hoyle's view, rather than accept the unimaginably small probability of life having risen through the blind sources of nature, one would be less likely to be wrong, to suppose that the origin of life was a deliberate intellectual act.The guy who called the 'explosion' of the tiny universe the Big Bang was a British astronomer called Fred Hoyle. He was an atheist and didn't like the suggestion that the universe had a moment of 'creation';
The big bang theory whose name was originally coined by Hoyle, was actually rejected by him.
