      You should give yourself and me a little more credit than that   
      as neither of us are that bad off. We both realize that it takes   
      and intelligence to program an outcome. From where I stand evolution   
      is a useful and intelligent tool, created by someone much more   
      intelligent. But to label this "God" is a leap in logic. I'm more   
      inclined to see hints say the universe is alive and insightful.

       But that does not make them fully formed, and therein lies the   
       proof that they are not born fully formed.
