CREA
     Your comments presuppose both the existence of an omnipotent "God" and
that the universe is his creation.  Unfortunately, the available evidence
all indicates that the universe, insofar as it exhibits "design", cannot be
the work of an omnipotent creator.  I trust you are familiar with  J.S.
Mill's arguments on the subject in his  __Three Essays on Religion__, and
since I've posted the pertinent portions to this mailing list in the
somewhat recent past, I'll forgo such needless repetition (unless you
require it).
