Who the heck have created the "higher force", which is allegedly even MORE complex??????

Now, now, Serge...you're asking "those" questions again.
The same, of course, can be said for "the Big Bang." What went "bang" and why????
I'll never have this conversation, but part of me would love to:
Christian: "Do you believe in 'intelligent design'?"
Me: "Yes."
Christian: "So you think it should be taught in schools?"
Me: "Oh, most assuredly not."
Christian: "But...but...aren't you a Christian?"
Me: "Nope. Wanna guess again?"
Christian: *silence*
Me: "Let me help you out here. I'm a Wiccan, or pagan to you, and I do in fact believe in 'intelligent design.' I believe that the way humans were designed was by a process called 'evolution,' also known as 'natural selection.' That strikes me as being very intelligent indeed, not to mention fun to watch. I have faith out the wazoo, religious beliefs by the bunches...and if you tried teaching any of MY religious beliefs in public schools I'd be the first manning the picket lines. It isn't that I don't like *your* religious beliefs - althought, admittedly, I don't - I don't believe ANYBODY'S religious beliefs should be taught in public schools. School is for the hard sciences. Our country is going down the tubes because the 'good scientists' are all coming out of Asia now and we've lost our edge. We sure as hell don't need this silliness. I managed to get my religious ducks in a row at home, you do the same. Oh. And by the way: Merry Christmas, Blessed Yule, Happy Hanukkah and I'm bringing the sweet potato pie on Kwanza. Rock on."
