The Six Questions

Furthermore, an oak tree does not fit into an acorn. Almost all of the matter - the "stuff" - that makes up trees is taken from air, not the ground or the seed itself.

It does if you still believe in the homunculus theory of development. :roll:

Just in way of apology - I have been pulled into 'defending' (as if it needed it) evolution on another part of the internet... I'll revisit this discussion later (plus I have a weeks holiday soon).

BTW - my signature was aimed at creationists, and was meant to be poetic (I realise the singularity may not be necessarily true). It illustrates the miracle of nature... whilst science may describe the laws behind each it does not begin to describe the purpose of each (nor can science ever do this... as Stephen Hawkings puts it (and I supply the context)

I don't think that this argument is a good one for God, though - if that was your intention in typing it. Taken as simple steps, nature becomes a lot less miraculous.

You are also coming from the perspective of assuming that there is a purpose going on. What is the purpose of a tree? To make more trees. Nothing more. What is the purpose of a planet? There is none.
