Oh really? How do you figure the odds? I haven't found anything in life that
required god to make it work right, but that doesn't mean I can make a good
estimation of the probabilty of it (them?) existing. It might be like looking
for a Unified Field Theory: you can do physics problems without it, but it sure
would be interesting to find.
