'''John Conway''' is a professor of Finite Mathematics at Princeton University. He is most famous for his development of [[Conway's game of life]]. Conway is an atheist.[http://www.celebatheists.com/?title=John_Conway]

 

Conway invented a cellular automaton game called ''Life'', which was meant to simulate the ecology of one-celled creatures but is mostly a lot of fun. <ref>"Life was invented by the mathematician John Conway in 1970. He choose the rules carefully after trying many other possibilities, some of which caused the cells to die too fast and others which caused too many cells to be born." [http://www.math.com/students/wonders/life/life.html Wonders of Math]</ref>

 

Life is probably the most often programmed [[computer game]] in existence. [ibid]

 

The game is probably the clearest example of the falsehood of [[natural evolution]], as the slightest change in self-sustaining patterns like [[glider gun]]s usually destroys them. Only those patterns created by human beings (or discovered and preserved by them) have any chance of being perpetuated.
