The wonders of science.

I was just sitting here thinking, rare as the occasion is, and I came upon
something that I thought I would share with you all.

Science has this wonderful way of looking at things and distinguishing
between the natural and the made. For example when an archeologist
stumbles upon a rock he/she will go examine the rock in several ways and
determine if the rock is just a plain old rock, or if it is an artifact of
a distant civilization. Many times the conclusion is based on the fact
that the rock has complexity that cannot be attributed to nature, this
leads the archeologist to conclude that the rock was made by an intellegent
person.

I find it very odd that, while it is so evident to these scientists that
the rock had a maker, they look at living things and basically attribute
all of living nature to chance. The complexity of nature far excedes that
of the rock on the ground yet this complexity came about by chance. This
is one of the things that keeps me from embracing the theory of evolution
in its entirety.

Well I just thought that I would share that.
