Wow...mystery solved. I know that people have wrestled with this issue for centuries, but now Harvard is throwing money and brains at it! I have no doubt we will have an answer soon. Thank you Mr Liu!

"My expectation is that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of logical events that could have taken place with no divine intervention," said David R. Liu, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard.
"In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God."

oh, i can't WAIT.
clearly the answers 1) "we were created" and 2) "we don't know" will not be acceptable answers to this "research" question. i predict a final answer far more implausible than creation, and people will eat it up and accept it as gospel because it will have come from haaaaavaaahd. scientists! research! all-knowing academians! of COURSE they know what they're talking about!
this isn't research. it's secular proof-texting. should be interesting.
mdog... wow... tell us what you think. Really. Don't be shy and hold back! :O)
i agree.
i thought you might. ;)
and lest anyone get the wrong idea... i've nothing against science, or even this research idea. but the attitudes in the article cause me to question the validity and objectivity of this endeavor...
People eat this stuff up. Particularly with intelligent design getting fresh airplay these days. I guess it seems silly to think that an intelligent being might create an entire world based on logical, concrete principles, instead of on magic fingers and invisible blammokazammo power. I guess what seems stranger to me is that, in the world of science, if we find a logical reason for something's existence, then that somehow disproves the existence of intelligent intervention, rather than establishing it. Why is it so implausible that the Creator would be the most brilliant scientist (and artist) ever?
