It is presumptuous of mankind to behave as if it can even begin fathoming the complexity of the Supreme Being's universe. The recent insights into previously unseeable micros, other-dimensional laws of physics and evidence of possible multiverses (where three theories land at) should humble the wisest to admit that it's just far grander and complicated than they can pretend to understand with the limited tool set they presently have.

Science is, at it's most basic definition, what we know and what we're doing to learn more. When we start learning that there are more levels at the fringes of what we can presently see but are limited by our current tools and knowledge frameworks...I can't help but see this as a humbling evidence of a vastly higher intelligence that loves us.

If it mocked or played with us we could all still be believing in the four humors and "know" that all diseases were the result of accumulated sin. There's a driving force out there that wants us to comprehend everything we can to the limits of our abilities. If it were all brutal survivalism many arguments exist that we would never have progressed beyond protoplasm or the Earths frequent bouts of mass biological exterminations (at least four major ones by all agreed parties, thirteen or more by most other scientists). Life is tenacious, evolvement is undeniable, extinction of whole classes of species has occurred time and again without the intervention of mankind's influence yet a shocking amount of slaying has occurred due to mankind in recorded history.

Now a group of mankind itself strives to force policies to push for it's own extermination in the foolish ideal that we (the human race) is somehow the ultimate death knell of our planet (Greenpeace, PETA, etc.)

They discount or ignore that life itself has surpassed every test put upon it by environmental and galactic calimity thrown against this rock over the millennia. It's been over seven thousand years since the last big purge while most scientists agree that a new one is past due.

Out tenuous position in this period of relative stability is a blessing that may be taken away in a moment. We are a culminmation, scientifically, of a line left alone long enough to comprehend it's own fate. I think it says a lot for us that we gave burial ceremonies long before any of us had a written language.

So I believe there's a Divine or higher evolved intelligence involved with us. We humans have done more in a few thousand years than all other known species...though that's all we know.

It's even more presumptuous for anti-evolutionists who can't even get gradeschool biology correct because they haven't bothered to get an educatino on the subject to think they can "refute" 150 years of evolutionary biology and the overwhelmingly massive amount of evidence and research which supports it, along multiple cross-confirming lines.

However much may not still be known about the Universe -- and the average creationist is shocked to discover how much *is* known every time they presume to make a declaration on the evidence that "doesn't" exist -- the anti-evolutionists know a great deal less than even that, if their past performance is any indication.
