DAVID: I think you are questioning the process by which humans appeared more than being stunned, as I am, that we arrived from an impersonal dangerous universe and can turn around and study what seems to have created us or been created for us. We are at different levels of wonder and philosophy.-I am as awestruck as you are, not only by the amazing fact of our own existence, but also by that of all other creatures, so please do not assume that only theists are capable of wonderment at the miracle of life. After all these years of discussion between us, you should know better! Unfortunately, our shared wonderment and our love of life do not answer any of the awkward questions which you would clearly prefer not to be asked! (I don't blame you, since we both know the questions are unanswerable and you can only fall back on irrational faith.)
