Last night just before bed, I looked out over my deck, and there over the middle of it, was the most magnificent spider web ever devised, shining in the spotlight. This wonder appeared perfectly circular and was about the size--and very much resembled-- a 33 rpm phono record, with very precisely placed circular strands close together with perfect symmetry. I still am not sure how this little master builder anchored this creation; must've been the hedge on one side and the chimney on the other, and maybe the deck; but all this stuff was a good ways off, and the masterpiece was hanging a good 8 feet over the deck. Another amazing thing is that we had a heavy rainstorm not 3 hours earlier, so this beauty was designed and built in less than 3 hours. So here we have a creature, with a brain maybe the size of a grain of sand, and likely less than a year old, building something any civil engineer would show with great pride. I got up to pee around 3 a.m., looked out, and it was already gone. OK, please continue. You had a point to make? What you've written so far describes something I see variations of all the time at my rural home. Beautiful, interesting, and natural but not magic or supernatural. So, how *exactly* do you get a god, whatever that is, from a spider and it's web? Offer something other than warm, fuzzy prose. I like that stuff and it has it's place, but not as proof of what you suggest it proves. It works this way: 1. I saw a spider web. 2. Therefor, god. -- Mark K. Bilbo Oooooh....now I understand. That explains everything.
