They do reflect that. I don't see how you can see anything else being reflected but that. There is no inherent meaning in the universe, and that's a very beautiful thing.

That's a pretty human-centered way of looking at things.

Not really odd. It just is.

Yeah, and that has nothing to do with God, and everything to do with science. That is what the whole focus of science is... to figure out what the heck is going on.

If Jesus can come from a virgin through the power of the holy spirit, then Adam can come from a monkey.

Talk about covering all your bases... anything goes, huh? As long as God is involved. What's so scary about taking God out of the picture?

You have to ask yourself why things reflect creation to you. What are the factors that influence you to think that way? What are the reasons that you want to believe so badly in creation? You must admit, when it comes down to it, you just WANT to believe in God, and you're not going to listen to anyone telling you any differently. That would be more honest than coming up with a bunch of random justifications for the universe being the way it is. Because when it comes down to it, none of us have a clue. Some of us want to believe in God. Some of us can no longer do that, even if we want to... because the justifications eventually stop making sense, if you let them take their course.
