This one seems to have drawn a lot of interest.  One point many seem
to have overlooked is that perfection is not necessary in order to
percieve craftsmanship.  Even English motorcycles, basically just two-
wheeled vibratory highway-oiling devices, show craftsmanship;  they obviously
did not simply evolve from simple iron ores in the ground.  While I will
admit to the possability of the the human brain being a product of evolution, I think it highly unlikely.  It seems more likely to be the handiwork of a
being or beings of whom the least we could say is that he or they were way
the hell ahead of US in building things.  Not perfect maybe, but still ahead
of us.
