Does someone have to think, if one wears out, you've got another, for that to work? or can it just be efficient without any thinking. At least thinking as we understand thinking.

Some creatures have more than 2. Starfish. Sea Anemones. Sea Urchins. You are talking mostly about the chordates when you talk about bilateral symmetry and two of everything. Radial symmetry also works. I think workability is a kind of intelligence. But I don't know that it needs to be called God.

You are saying, I think, that one would have to accept the notion that nature was the creation of an entity to be considered a believer, which would make your answer to my question a "no." I appreciate hearing your perspective.

The best thing to do is to enjoy the beautiful day. Whether one believes or not, just ask the questions and be thankful.

Amen.
