Do you believe in God?

You have to learn about both the bad and the good in the design of the human body before you make a decision, no?

Well, as for the disease, the Christian will argue it's the effect of sin on the human race.

As for everything else, I'm not inteligent or schooled enough to argue them. As you pointed out I mixed up two different pieces of information I had heard a long time ago.

You bring up some fasinating points (and perhaps this thread is getting a bit diverted from what the OR meant), but would you consider crystal formation a natural order in the same magnitude as a cell dividing after replicating it's information in the DNA and RNA? I'm not sure what it intails since the crystal is not living, and I didn't study the science of minerals.

Also, in the theory of evolution, the first building blocks of life were said to begain instantaniously from a puddle of ooze. I belive this was the first amino acids. Amino acids form to create protien, and are organic and therefore are the begining of organic life on Earth. Life then created the need to replicate so the information was needed to be passed down and DNA and RNA was born. How did this come to be on it's own? And in an invironment that some scientists say would be too harsh to allow it. And why can't we reproduce it? And why can we put all the ingredients together forming a perfect seed, that will never grow?
