Sidney, there are several logical problems with your position. But the most important one is that a negative proposition cannot be proven. The second is the application of a logical device called Ockham's razor, which is a logical heuristic designed to inject parsimony into inductive reasoning. Briefly put, it states that given a choice between two equally plausible explanations of a phenomenon one chooses the simpler. By invoking a supernatural explanation for the phenomena you are simply shifting the answer upstream. For not only must you try to explain how a deity accomplished a certain task, you must now grapple with questions concerning the nature and origin of the deity. That's why a scientist will always choose organic evolution as an explanation for the diversity of life over a "God's plan" type explanation. It is simpler. Only when the simpler explanations fail do you look to the more complex. TTFN, CTC
