A fish tank is another world. It is a world into which we look. Some of us like what we seem some of us don't, its a matter of taste. Taste and opinion. So, as I look into worlds, or areas of life to which I am not directly related, I form opinions. I like to share my opinions with people, it can lead to healthy debate.

I'm a realist, but for the life of me I cannot entertain the idea that the whole world came about by pure chance. Do I believe in God? Not really, not in the sense most people see him. Do I believe in a Creating Force? Yes, I guess I do. People ask me what my vision or idea of "The Creator" is, and because I cannot answer them, they see it as a foolish assumption. I always say this: "The concept of infinity, something that has always existed, that never began and never ends, is beyond the human brain's capacity to comprehend. If this is so, perhaps the concept of a creator is also beyond our ability to  understand." Just because something is outside the limits of our understanding it is not a legitimate arguement for non-acceptance. I cannot grasp the concept of a "Super Being", but less can I believe that a "Big Bang" caused everything we see around us. Take a natural occurance like the rain cycle as an example. Pure chance? I think not. Consider this also. If I gave you all the individual components of a computer in a huge cardboard box, how long would you need to shake that box before all the parts fell together to form a perfect, and working computer? That is basically "The Big Bang" theory. Not only would these things need to come together perfectly, but they would have to do it first time or it would be useless the first time you plugged it in. The intricate articulation of the human hand, even now with all our technology, cannot be recreated robotically, yet the original just happened to evolve? I cannot give you a clear arguement for the presence of a creator, but like I said, perhaps that is because I, or anyone else for that matter, can comprehend it. Perhaps thats how it is supposed to be. I welcome any views on this subject. One last point: An inanimate object cannot become animate without a driving force. Therefore to accept evolution we must assume that the component particles that formed this earth must have always existed and were always moving. That surely is just as hard for the brain to handle as anything. I'm afraid I cannot do that as much as I have tried.
