Again, common sense may not be the best tool for understanding the natural world. Common sense tells us that natural processes cannot form human faces on mountains, as you point out. However, visit the Man in the Mountain in New Hampshire, and you'll find that common sense is wrong.

Sorry for the tardy reply, work called.

I see your point but mine would be that Mt. Rushmore has incredible detail whereas the Man in the Mountain isn't quite so detailed.

And please correct me if I'm wrong, but here are a couple of questions that, as far as I can't tell, evolution can't explain.

I do thank you for your time and comments. Several animal organs such as the eye. I have read several comments from committed evolutionist that "admit" (my word) that the evolutionary time line doesn't permit such a complex system. Ditto the explosion of species in the Cambrian period.

Perhaps I misunderstood the comments, perhaps they were made by those with no or little standing.

Granted I'm NOT a scientist; in fact I am a high school drop out who is self educated (actually that may be a blessing even though public schools were a bit better in my day than they are now) but my "common sense", which to me is no more than Occam's Razor and which has benefited me well in other areas, says that, at least in those two cases, the possibility exists that there were outside influences since they don't seem to fit into the evolutionary model.

Pure speculation of course, I can't prove either but I think they're interesting questions and in my world "theory" is that and open to scrutiny and question. I am distressed when I don't see that in any field and theory is presented as fact. Again, I understand that "theory" in the scientific world appears to be used differently than in any other venue.

Regarding the theory of relativity; from what I've read I would bet you a rack of my world famous (or at least world famous around my house) smoked baby back ribs that in the next 30 years it will be proved wrong. I probably won't be around to pay off, so don't get your mouth fixed for 'em.

I do thank you for your time and comments.
