DAVID: Thanks for the advice but it doesn't answer the issue of humans appearing against all odds.

Pre-programmed or guided are both possible, and roughly equal. It really doesn't matter which it was. The intentionality ( teleology)is still present in the final result. Either way a God (intelligence/consciousness) is operative, which fits my belief.-I say we were not against all odds. In fact at t-minus 10^-43 seconds life was going to happen. That is fairly sound with, or without a god.
