The universe is not the only closed system. The ecology of the earth is effectively closed, and the tendency for any closed system is increasing entropy. Evolution is an example of the decreasing entropy in a closed system.
What would be evidence of a creator would be if things did NOT follow what was natural and obvious. If these things did NOT follow the golden ratio and other straight math.. if we could find no explanation for why things had a weird ratio, or weird behavior.. no explanation from the current or possible past enviroment to explain how something evolved.... come to me with that, then we can talk about a creator.
But there is in fact... evolution only could have occured if the laws of statistical probability had been all but broken. The "natural and obvious" way for something to occur is for its total entropy to always increase, such is not the case with evolution.
It's not really so bad... the range on the things can't be more than 100 yards, so the only thing they can see is you making a left turn into a right turn only street.
I'm a day away from finishing an internship at a local church, after which I head off to college. Yes, I got paid, so it wasn't necessarily volunteerwork, but churches have a surprising need for computers and technological services. Any help you can offer, be it Sundays or after school, I'm sure they'd love it. Certainly did here.:-)
So what's keeping Lithium Ion batteries out of the AA and AAA size? Is it possible to just recharge the lithium (non-rechargable) batteries (ie M3 technology or that Ultra thing?) Is this a conspiracy? We are told not to recharge them so we pay out the wazoo for batteries we can reuse?

I always check Megatokyo, Penny Arcade, Userfriendly, Get Fuzzy, Dilbert, and NonSequiteur. After that, I'm ready for lunch! -PS
