For you to exist KellyJay is a miracle. (And i don't mean that in a religious sense). Your current existence on this planet is almost impossible (mind mindbogglingly so). Think of all your ancestors going back thousands (*millions) of years all having to meet at precisely the right time in order for you to have come into existence. Any slight divergence (perhaps your great great grandfather missing the bus that would have introduced him to your great great grandmother) and you wouldn't be here. You, KellyJay are an impossibility, defying all the odds, and yet here you are.

As I pointed out I think the odds of just having the WHOLE UNIVERSE setup just so that
life could happen is beyond placing a number to quantify odds for or against. Then you
introduce evolution which has all life in a state of flux goes against it too, for if the
changes are random, than there is no set place where the process discontinues.

I like the idea just keeping the good and moving on but random chance doesn't see good
or bad so acquiring the proper thickness for say a vein wouldn't automatically send a
signal to the evolutionary genie telling the process to stop it would just keep on keeping
on changing the thickness until it found one that stopped all life from continuing forward
due to catastrophic failure.

Natural Selection sounds nice, it makes for great science fiction, but only through good
programming could you pull that off, and we know what is required for programming.
I mean it sounds good getting to keep only the good, but there is no such thing with
random mutations.

With respect to me being here, we are here due to the system of life in place right now.
All the pieces of the puzzle are in place preforming as they should so I don't have an
issue with that. It isn't like you and others here suggest we started how *no idea* and
we through random chance *against odds we cannot even put a number too* form on
a piece of the universe that happens to have all of the necessary ingredients present,
all in the proper place, all being able to connect to each other in the right places, all
happening in an area that doesn't kill it off right away or any time afterwards, and so on.

Talk about miracles your belief system requires more faith than mine and I am talking
about a religious sense of the word.

Yes, that is indeed a clear proof of the creative miracle of God. Science does not accept miracles. So it rules out science. 😏

HalleluYah !!! Praise the LORD! Holy! Holy! Holy!
