Good job, FRiend! You make a lot more sense than Stephen Hawking and all the other acolytes of atheism. I refuse to believe that it all came from nothing, that it's all the result of chance, or the working out of natural physical processes.

Put another way, I refuse to believe that such achievements as the Mozart Requiem, Handel's Messiah and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony are nothing more than the residue of some cosmic hiccup.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

My thanks -

I include the art made of stone. The cathedrals, made by illiterates that are a joy to God. The farmers, who know the cycle set on day one by the Lord will lead to crops in the fullness of time. Parents, who know that they will be blessed in time.

All of them art. All of them expressions of joy.

So you admit to (and admire) stochastism in the world as we know it.

The “spark of genius” shall remain under the control of the Lord. But the general lengthy progression by generations is a clear spokesmodel for the observed effects of TToE.

You are clearly the latest data point on an accelerated line of smart people who sochastically continued thought evolution.

My brothers and sisters are pretty sharp so I like to think my ability to analyze has a bit of that same general theoretical impetus. Or, more accurately, is representative of it.

Either that or you have some ‘splainin to on how God chose you to be smart...
