Peter's Message 9 of 13 01-14-2004 05:33 AM:"Perhaps my question is too obtuse. Suppose I found a watch in a field what about the watch would make one consider it to be the product of an intelligence?"The example of a watch is too mechanical. Of course an intelligent person would assume such a mechnical device to be produced by an intelligent being.Question for Peter: What if I found an amorphous glob of goo that quivered and pulsed in a field? What about that object would make one consider it to be the product of an intelligence?

Mike:You guys get way too hung-up egotistically, or maybe chauvanistically, assuming on behalf of us amazing humans that just because we're able to manufacture tools, machinery, Mustangs, microwave ovens, and Bic lighters, that therefore there is a mighty mirror image of us upright apes seated on a heavenly throne bringing every marvelous component of our environment into existence by the wave of a magic wand. Oh, and god forbid that the rest of the universe could possible be totally devoid of such a wonderful species as we!Lighten up on the supernatural caffiene intake.Peace, and may the force be with you, homs.[This message has been edited by Abshalom, 01-14-2004]
