That is what man has done throughout history...if they can't explain it, they blame it on the divine in whatever form they worshipped it in.

Good analogy, but not quite how the thought process works for at least some of us. Granted there are some people out there that think like that, but they're very tiresome to be around even if you happen to share a foundation with them. For me it's more like "God created us, but how? And why?" Besides the other approach suggests that if something can't be explained then it can't be true. That's no better than saying everything's magic because there are things, even without taking any potential supernatural influence out of the equation, that mankind will never understand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
