Hello Charley Mike,

For the time being I am doing well enough that if any better I'm sure the government would put a tax on it. (The market here is another matter)
I hope you are well also.

In my post I mentioned faith (based on things unseen) came first. It first came from hearing, reading and believing the word of God in the bible. Proof in what I had faith in (to my mind from experience) came afterwards when I wasn't asking for it.

I still have fun thinking of how people put faith in their cars brakes, elevators, planes, the food we eat all of which if malfunctioning or tampered with can kill us. Yet they balk at faith in God. Faith in something is a common practise everyday. Tangible items agreed, but so is all of creation.
Darwin I recall reading was amazed at the eye. It cannot evolve, it either works or it doesn't and virtually every species on the planet has some reasonable facsimile of one.
Bombardier beetles were another nemesis with evolution, their defence mechanism of explosive gases have to have the exact mixture combined at the precise moment to produce an explosion in the face of whatever is trying to eat them. How many of the unfortunate bugs were blown into eternity as they evolved the chemical process required? Or were they created?
I don't know if you prescribe to evolution at all, just having fun.
Nice to hear from you and have a great day.
John
