Today we are going to take a wonderful hike along the beach on the central Oregon coast. The air is brisk with a steady ocean breeze. The sand is smooth and warm, littered with thousands of small shells and pebbles that glisten in the sunshine.

It appears that there are two provisional explanations that we could propose for the existence and properties of this object:

The Random Hypothesis

The Design Hypothesis
