> Tony: I have commented several times on this observation, but I feel it is worth repeating. IT WAS DONE THIS WAY BECAUSE HAD TO BE DONE THIS WAY! No other way would have worked out to be a self-sustaining ecosystem........ There was no blind chance involved, nor was there any shot gun scatter approach taken, -It is obvious to me that your concept of God is a limited God. He had to work with what He had after He created or invented the universe. The universe had to evolve itself under His rules. The same thing seems to apply to the Earth. It had to drift its continents, fix its Moon, develop its CO2-rock cycle, scatter around enough nutrients for the early one-celled guys, as the eco-systems developed.-I find that a reasonable approach, but that does away with an all-powerful, all knowing, omnipotent, total controller of a 'god'. Why do you deny religions' version of God? -Since I deny myself the privilege of making up the rules about God's personality and powers, I really want to hear yours.
