Lather.Rinse.Repeat. Sagan does postulate that atoms spontaneously rearrange themselves into a Lamborghini ... home.pacific.net.hk ( click on " Carl Sagan "). "We are the product of 4.5 billion years of fortuitous, slow, biological evolution. There is no reason to think that the evolutionary process has stopped. Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation." "In the cosmic perspective there is no reason to think that we are the first or the last or the best." - "The Cosmic Connection" By Carl Sagan Key word is *fortuitous;* that means random Yes, that is were the Lamborghini came from: First we rearranged " fortuitously from atoms. Then we built a Lamborghini. It was fortuitous from the start, all the way though. You may want to look up in Webster's the meaning of fortuitous before you read this. Also, let us address first the issue of a Lamborghini arising spontaneously and fortuitously out of slime. After that I' ll be glad to address the God issue. One thing at a time, TA Message #800 from Lather.Rinse.Repeat. at Sep 18 1999 12:46PM You did so here. Message 11285129 <edit> I have less trouble entertaining Sagan's ideas (and I add here that nobody postulates that atoms spontaneously rearrange themselves into a Lamborghini ... that required our assistance) than the to-me-repugnant idea that God would 1) have a carnal offspring 2) leave the poor s.o.b. to dry out on a chunka wood 3) then sit back and giggle through Diaspora, Crusade, Jihad. "Buncha maroons." I reject any such God-concept ... as a virus. But hey, jmo.
