"Did you just say you don't believe in common descent of life on earth? " No; I meant I don't understand what you mean by common descent; it could mean the wand of God or it could mean evolution from a single celled organism. I believe the latter. I can believe in God and accidents, both. The fact that there is supreme being doesn't mean our being here is not a set of flukes. Now, what about smoking causing cancer? Do you believe we walked on the moon? Is the earth round or flat? I'm trying to find the level of scepticness here. Nice word, huh? Easier to spell than sceptitude.

You know...maybe we aren't here by accident. Maybe we are just a precursor species to God's ultimate creation. Dinosaurs did hundreds of millions of years before we ever showed up. We've only been here about 30k years. Maybe we are just the most basic and rudimentary form of God's ULTIMATE creation. We threaten to destroy each other every day. Seems appropriate for a very crude life form, but not something one would expect of a highly fine tuned end product. Maybe we'll slowly mature over a hundred million years until we become worthy... Or...maybe we'll go the way of the dinasaurs and the species that follows us will be the TRUE creation of God. Maybe we are ONLY in Day 5 of the 7 Day creation... Wouldn't that be ironic?
