Just because man is able to split the atom in half and go to the moon, swim in water when man is made for land (boats), travel faster on land (car, train) than walking, and fly when man naturally does not fly (plane)-- all that is not enough to establish that man has the capacity to understand the evidence of God's existence.

We must recognize that in this context «adaptation» is strictly defined in terms of survival values and that, generally speaking, it is the simpler forms of organization that possess the greatest staying power: living systems, no matter how fantastically intricate - and well organized they might be, have a much shorter span of existence than, say, a rock crystal, or a single stable atom.34

The extreme view that a person is «just a collection of atoms» is less persuasive in the light of tracer studies showing that the atoms in our bodies are replaced every few years; 6 the self that continues must be constituted by the relationships and patterns among atoms, rather than by the atoms in themselves.

In a few thousand years of recorded history, we went from dwelling in caves and mud huts and tee - pees, not understanding the natural world around us, or the broader universe, to being able to travel through space, using reason to ferret out the hidden secrets of how the world works, from physics to chemistry to biology, we worked out the tools and rules underpinning it all, mathematics, and now we can see objects that are almost impossibly small, the very tiniest building blocks of matter, (or at least we can examine them, even if you can't «see» them because you're using something other than your eyes and photons to view them) to the very farthest objects, the planets circling other, distant stars, that are in their own way, too small to see from here, like the atoms and parts of atoms themselves, detected indirectly, but indisputably THERE.
