I think grass is proof, as in blades of grass - there are billions per square foot, and they are all grass, not half baked weird grass/*something else* mixes, but all grass - to me thats proof of creation, and therefore proof of a creator, thus god.

I have a shiny new Intel processor. It has billions of transistors on it, billions per square inch in fact, and they're all good transistors, not some half-baked capacitors or diodes or other ilk. The same arguments can be made with hard drives and ram. Having the capacity to create a lot of something in an orderly fashion does not prove existence.

Of course it does -- to me. But, that's the point. We all have our own thresholds for belief. For us to criticize each other for our beliefs would serve no purpose other than to exhibit intolerance. And, I think we can all agree that intolerance should not be tolerated. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
