God did all of that, eh?
I think that all those cells got together, and made an eye out of themselves, some more cells got together, made a brain out of themselves so that the eye had somebody to talk to, by coincidence

Did all the cells do that in 7 days?
No--you know the answer is that it took much longer--I'm just saying its a good thing it happened
but really when you think about, what ARE the chances of cells coming together to make an eye. A seeing eyeball is a pretty complicated thing...there's some minute detailed precision happening up in there for sure.
I, for one, would never place a bet on "cells coming together and making an eye out of themselves". Nope, I wouldn't even sit down at that table.
How lucky our cells making eyes to tell our brains what's out there are we? (that's your question back)

You could name that process evolution, or you could name it Dudley Moore,
thing is....cells got together, did some adjustments, rearragnements, adaptations, cones, A-rods, irises, lilacs, a few concavement conventions, ...Here's your eyeballs....
thank you thank you very much... is there a source where I can properly thank my lucky stars?
my eyeballs themselves?
See what I mean? That's a very, very awesome and good lucky thing!
P.S. "that my eyeballs needed to exist" sounds even more far-fetched than the invisible man theory, don't ya think?

Wait, you're saying my post wasn't obviously sarcastic?
But being serious, what I'm saying is that yes, evolution exists--obviously--but how or why it occurs or what is its driving force is still a mystery, isn't it?
Both theories (evolution vs. creation) are still mysteries that people usually are content to just label ("look what God did" or "its evolution, baby") and move on. I just wanted to elaborate on ...how amazing it is that it happened at all, we take so much for granted, and how our explanations for how things happened seem inadequate.
I would enjoy talking/contemplating more about this subject--but with somebody who could say more than "... that Kosmic Jelli", ya know. As far as I can see, we don't have similar writing styles nor similar subject matters, anyway.
