Mike,

Where did the notion that a creator can't leave a trace of Himself come from? Is this something you just made up? Or is there a "Rules & Regulations For Universe Creation" you've read somewhere? <g>

*chuckle*

This is getting funny... You just make up artificial rules, apply them to the situation and declare yourself smart.

As a matter of fact the Bible plainly states that God made us in His own image. Now, before you try and redefine the word 'image' as a means of avoiding the issue it means not physical but spiritual. That is, deep things like self-awareness, choice, etc. All non-physical in nature. Things like love, joy, hope, faith, kindness, tolerance, humility, patience, etc.. Characteristics and character traits.

Let me ask you this; do you ever put your name anywhere on the software you create? QED back at you. <g>
