Sorry, I just didn't see your response. And I know it seems strange, but nothing bringing everything into existence also sounds strange. No matter what answers the question of the origin of matter time and energy is, it is bound to seem strange. I simply think that life and the universe reflects an intelligent designer rather than random chance.
Those who study biology and paleobiology have an answer to that, and it's not written in an old abook, it's told by observable fact. They observe how life evolved from the bottom up - for example, the eye began very simple in creatures which we are genetically linked to, as a simple photo-sensitive spot as a useful accident of reproduction. Subsequent generations made sight more complex in animals when such deviations, in ecologically stressful conditions. There is no evidence for design, only the cobbling up and occasional retrofitting of traits which were at some point useful, and eventual (but not timely) dumping of traits which are of no use (we've still got that damned appendix). It's undeniable that it's a bottom-up series of events, much the opposite of the top-down format which is required in all manner of "design". If you were paid as an engineer to design the human body, we would have to be a lot more sensibly and efficiently designed than we are now, or you would be out of a job! Sorry, but the more you look at that idea of design behind what life actually is on this planet, the much less it makes any sense.
Hey, Yahweh - YER FIIIIIRED!!!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
