My friends, we can speculate all we want, have whatever faiths among us, believe however strongly, but can we be so presumptuous as to say we *know*? IMHO not in this mortal lifetime.
We may all be right, we may all be wrong. I'm just awestruck by the scope and grandeur of the universe and its complexity. My personal choice is to believe there was a creator. I also believe that creator was artistic and had a sense of humor. You are entirely welcome to your beliefs, and I will respect them, and hope you respect mine even if you think I'm wrong. I am really enjoying the fact that a bunch of smart, creative people are playing "verbal tennis" and having such a good time at it. To me this is "cf-community" at its best. Have a wonderful day, everybody.
