What about it, Jim? Prepared for YOUR maker? Oh, that's right, you don't believe in a Creator, do you? Your epitaph might read: a random collection of molecules called Jim Heller is now 6 feet under the ground. Right? Yes, it might say that. However, it wouldn't be accurate as my mind won't be there and I'm nothing without that. It might read that "a random collection of molecules forming Jim Heller's body is now six feet under the ground" but that would be wrong too as the statement suggests that these molecules just came together on their own. Let's not forget about natural selection, shall we? You crack me up, Jim. I've noticed that you've posted a couple of things about the tsunami proving that there is no God. I never actually said the tsunami proved that there was no God as it would be impossible to make that case. Just like it's impossible to prove that there's no Santa Claus or Rawat's not God. But I did -- and do -- say that the tsunami sure seems to conflict with the notion of a loving God. Don't you agree? Why don't you go look at yourself in the mirror and say that nothing created you? Can you do that, Jim? Go ahead and look and then come back and post here that Jim Heller has no creator. Okay, but give me a minute, will you? Okay, I'm back and I can safely say that I did indeed look in the mirror and say that phrase. Hey, I can do it! And now I'm prepared to accede to your next small request: Jim Heller has no creator. And when you do, also tell me about the mirror you looked at. It has no maker either, right? Nothing made that mirror, did it? Just some molecules came together randomly and wallah, a mirror appeared. Now you're being silly. Of course the mirror has a creator. Some guys got together in some company or other and, with various raw materials, some electricity and a few machines, made it. But see, here's where you're getting so confused. Indeed, here's why evolution is so confusing for so many people. We're so used to seeing things that we've made -- like mirrors, for instance -- that we mistakenly think that there must be some sort of intelligent designer responsible for us too. False assumption. That's where natural selection comes in. There's a lot of foolish people in the world, aren't there, Jim? And small-minded ones too, if you ask me! Indeed!
