- I don't except that humanity occured purely by accident either; however,
- I do believe in Evolution. These two may seem contradictory, but they are
- not. There was an article in Time several months back about God and science,
- and in this article they quoted biologist who see that intelligent life was
- predestoned to evolve. The arguement is that the more scientist look at
- nature the more they see things that could be explained by 'God'. It was
- an excellent article and is worth reading. [ Note : this is not a bash
- against science, I am a PhD candidate in engineering ]

- Scientific facts are hard to come by, particulary in such expansive fields
- as the environment and Evolution. Things which you except as 'facts' may
- actually only be theories.
