And so it just seems like so completely impossible that this one out of a trillion thing could happen.
But if you think about how many other steps were taken, how many other different ways the lines could have gone in the genetics, it probably did.
And they probably didn't work.
And so they're left behind.
It's kind of like the argument –
I never wore a seatbelt and I'm alive.
Well, you are, but a lot of other people who didn't aren't, right?
And so you can't prove it that way.
So for me, I think, again, it brings me back to this issue of why I just don't think it's a relevant scientific question, because you can't prove it one way or the other.
And so it's always going to come down to faith.
And so even people who make intelligent design arguments, ultimately I find them not persuasive because, as you said, we can work our way to it.
And then how do you prove there's two routes to get there?
How do you prove which one it was?
It's an article of faith.
Well, this is the other problem, right?
People say, well, I know what God is and what God did.
If there is a God and the way God created the universe and did things, none of us have any conception of that.
It's probably beyond our brain's ability to understand what that is.
And so for me, like you, I don't see any tension.
The tension comes when you become very tied to actual texts, right?
