There's no need to bring gods into the picture -- thru the backdoor or otherwise, as many bourgeois scientists are wont to do these daze. The Universe -- however it began and wherever it's heading -- is an emergent pheonomenon of matter/energy in constant (perpetual?!) motion. It *self-assembles*, in other words. By successive iterations. Fractally. And then *natural* selection "chooses" what is to remain/be -- and thus what we are, and what we now observe. It's damned simple, really. Prove me wrong. No wonder the religious hate Darwin. (And someone else I won't name. ;) - --grok. - -- Build the North America-wide General Strike. TODO el poder a los consejos y las comunas.
