Nicely done sir. Do you have an answer for us? Do you know who in fact did these things that you talk so eloquently about?
Hehehe! Trent, to return the favour (of tickling me in the ribs), I’d say the answer is “the monkey”.
But, for the benefit of the other readers and possible subsequent commenters, I’ll say it’s another positive point in the argument for the existence of a super-smart God. He may have His rules regarding interfering in every little thing (when he already made us men responsible for how we treat ourselves and the planet); but he has left some strong finger-prints in how our body/soul/mind systems operate -much like a very complex programming.
I’m still thinking about this response. It is not a straightforward argument occurring in me.
I see. Please, feel free to share anytime. I am keeping an open ear open.
Nice having you around again, sir.
