Thank you for your two responses to my earlier posts. Allow me to attempt to answer your cavils as best i can. That you believe that you stated correctly that the very basis for evolution has been debunked does not make it so. Evolution has been proven well beyond any reasonable doubt so as that anyone who is not blinded to reality by the opium of the masses has no serious doubts. If there is any controversy, it is whether Darwin or Lamarck better described the evolutionary process. That in itself is rather surprising in that Darwin did admit that Lamarck probably got it right. As for the story that Darwin admitted on his death bed that he was wrong, that story is without any merit whatsoever. There was no such admission. Even creationists admit to this. You might find this article on the subject of interest:www.answersingenesis.org/docs/1315.asp The web site is a Christian fundamentalist one that does not believe in evolution, so i do not know why you should doubt their word on the matter.
To reply to your one question, very little technology was used in fact. Aside from the actual materials used (all found in nature) the only technology used was a spark generator to simulate lightening. Amino acids, the basic building blocks of life, were created in this manner. So, aside from the artificial lightening, there was not anything not available on the planet for life to arise. Happily for us, the planet had real lightening. And it had the ideal conditions for life to arise not for 3 million years as you and Herr Focal Point assert, but for many billions of years. (Just where did you fellows come up with that number?)
Atheism is not a religion as you assert just as not believing in Santa Claus is not a religion. That i do not believe in a God who created the universe does not make me blind to the incredibly awe inspiring place that the universe is. It just means that in determining how it all came to be, i apply Occam's razor to the question and when one does that, one sees that God is a totally unnecessary assumption.
Moving on to your second post, i most certainly did not miss your point that science does not prove that God does not exist. i made that very point using those very same words. You could go back and read it. My point was that science has made a belief in God unnecessary. Science has been able to explain with startling clarity just how and even when the universe came to be and it also explains most vividly how life can arise from inate material.
As well, let me assure you that i did not mistake your cute story for an attempt to prove the reality of God's existence. Sorry if i left you with that impression. Let me add that it is not folly not to believe in an unnecessary concept. More accurately could folly be described as believing in something for which there is no proof and which is an unnecessary concept that only hinders our ability to understand the universe.
Do i think you a simpleton and rube as you seem to believe? No, not really. Insofar as i have actually formulated any opinion of you, it would have been that you had an unhealhy fixation with Jim C. that you seem to have more or less gotten over. i suppose you also came across as someone who could make worthwhile contributions to these pages if you would only stop your monomania with Jim; otherwise i would not have invested my time trying to get you to shift your focus. That you believe in God does not make you a simpleton. Many smart people share your belief including many scientists. As i see it, such beliefs are an epiphenomenon of one's upbringing for the most part, but occasionally arise due to the ingestion of a tainted pizza slice.
In closing let me say that when i claim not to believe in God, the God that i do not believe in is the God of the Christians, Muslims and Jews. That God is an abomination that should it exist, should be hunted down and murdered like a mad dog. That being said, i have been developing my own notion over the last 3 decades of what God would be if there is a God. It is a notion that dovetails nicely with my understanding that the universe is hierarchically structured in organic systems. However, i cannot bring myself to believe that my unnecessary construct is any more real than the God i do not believe in.
Peace.

Beginning of the headline :
Finally the USA has an act that perfectly expresses its true spirit as the horror show nation among nations: the random mass slaughter of little children by a maniac. Is it not so that the failure to protect little children from harm is the most shameful weakness an adult human can present? Next, of course,comes the empty ritual of pretending that we must make sure something like this never happens again...
