Jeff:
I look into my microscope and, no I do not see a "plan". The problem
with this discussion is that we are really speaking different
languages. You have faith that there had to be a planner. As long as
you are honest enough to acknowledge that you have not need for logic or
proof, I have no problem with that. The method of science operates
completely differently. We observe the world, make guesses (the fancy
name is hypothesis), and then we test our guesses. We do have a faith -
we have faith that you can best learn about the world by carefully
examining it.
