"...extrapolate from that, that microbes became man, even though that can not be observed"

Oh, sure it can... all that is required is a 4 billion year life span.

If there is a God, HE observed it as He watched His creation develop. I do wish he'd drop in and clear all that up. Our ancestors 2000-4000 years ago were a bit confused with how they copied down the instructions.

( and yes... Ed T is usually right on the mark.. as is Lighter)
