> dhw: I don't laugh at the obvious fact that living organisms are interdependent, and that if certain elements change their balance, some organisms may flourish and others may become extinct. That is how evolution has always proceeded - with Nature constantly changing its balance, as species come and go. What makes me cringe is the claim that God planned every little twist and turn, right down to preprogramming or separately creating half the weaverbird's nest, half the monarch's lifestyle, half the spider's silk etc., in order to balance Nature in such a way that it could end up with human beings.-Keep on cringing. You yourself have said all these theories are possible.
