   Well, let's say you win, and the exact sequence of the OoL is unknowable   
   by science. So you've got a smoking gun: God did it. But how? why? which   
   god, and is is the sort that requires constant prayers? Doesn't help a   
   bit, IMHO.   
      
   But however He did it, he really does seem to be a sloppy molecular   
   biologist, and leaving stuff to just evolve seems a bit uncaring to me.
