Saying there is no intelligent creator offers the same       complete lack of evidence as those that say there is a creator. One thing       I've learned reading just about everything well known theoretical physicists       say is that they don't have a *       clue* how the universe started or, more importantly, *why* there is even a       universe at all. Further, many of those scientists remain as believing in       intelligent design despite years of study.              In other words, debating this one way or the other or making declarative       statements one way or the other is done with no evidence whatsoever, only       opinion which is worthless.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
