I don't blame God for anything. I did not mention him. I was addresing the scientific theory of intelligent design, whose proponents insist that it is not a religion, and pointing out the demonstrable fact that humans are not a product of intelligent design.

I'm in the mood to be philosophical this morning - maybe it's because I have a cold and keep thinking about what it would be like to have Avian flu.....anyway.... I think we continue to confuse God with nature. God is pure spirit where are Mother nature is *very* physical, concrete - and, I might add, not very nice. When we are born into this world, bad things are bound to happen to us - survival of the fittest is a very real fact of life. As we age and our immune systems fail, we get sick. That's the way it is supposed to be so that other healthy, vital folks can take our place. That is the way it is in all of nature as well - the weak die while the strong survive and continue to procreate. So let us stop blaming God for making us imperfect. We are supposed to be that way - otherwise, we would live beyond the world's ability to support us. Some might make the argument that we are doing that already. --------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 66/26 with PD) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
