Open Mind,
I still think the question about whether natural selection has enough power to do what it is supposed to have done (with or without the actual genesis of life) is an interesting question - but probably very hard to answer definitively.
I tend to cringe at the very mention of God or religion because these seem to be concepts derived from the worst of human politics. Nowadays particularly, every organisation seems to require a boss with a super salary who frequently struts about and wrecks the very institution he is supposed to be leading. If we had a God like that we would really be in trouble!
