You look around and flatly deny the existence of the One who created you and everything you see, instead believing -- or trying very hard to believe -- it's all a cosmic accident. All the while, eternity awaits you.

Likewise, give that some thought and "have a lovely weekend."

Oh, and lest you wish to conclude otherwise, I'm not "judging" or condemning anyone above, only stating what I believe to be the simple facts of life.

We were discussing the specific morphology of woodpeckers, which is an interesting subject to be sure. I'm unclear as to how or why your particular take on the Christian God has anything to do with that line of discussion. I am under the impression that no matter what biological (and perhaps, physical, mathematic, geological, etc) question comes up, the answer will always be the same for you. So be it.

I, OTOH, won't be swayed by that "answer," just as you wont by mine. And btw, evolutionary theory simply does not, did not, and will not ever address "cosmic accidents" or how "it all started." It merely explains what happened once "it all began." This certainly does not eliminate the possibility of a Deity... or space aliens, or time travel, or anything really.
