If you believe in it because of "virtue of the preponderance of evidence" it
shows you easily confuse "leap of faith" with "positive proof."

Marbles can be used in models with excellent results! However, if forced
to keep using all of mine up... I may end up at a disadvantage... I seem
to have misplaced some already!!!

|
| Calling Evolution a religion is simply incorrect. I "believe" in

|
| Check out the connections. If evolution is "wrong" or does not exist,
| then indeed, most physics "facts" are not facts at all, they are dead
| wrong. Not only is evolution wrong, but radioactive decay is wrong, etc,
| etc, etc.
|
| As to "us", well, we are POSITIVE proof it has been done--but no proof
of
| "who" has done it, how it has been done, or even why it has been done...
| but, we should keep searching... an answer may be found...
|
| Why? Because it can be done.
|
| However, often I wonder if all of this isn't really just in my mind--you
are

To

and

myself",
