		<description>This Carnival is really taking off.  Beautiful job of hosting, I Am.  I especially enjoyed the illustrations.

Since I didn't have time to submit a post, here's my 2 cents worth from what will come to be knowns as the "OR" perspective.  

Miracles were believed in by people who took the laws of nature for granted and were therefore only amazed when they were apparently violated.  Science has now shown and continues to show us that the laws of nature themselves, and what they have wrought, are the real miracles.  Being in a constant state of awe at nature -- despite its imperfections -- who needs supernatural miracles?

In fact, Intelligent Design may largely be a stalking horse for the Biblical Jehovah, but I was thinking there must be some kind of intelligence permeating nature before I ever heard of ID.  Natural selection, OK, but if &lt;i&gt;random mutation&lt;/i&gt; could produce the intricate mechanisms we see in nature, well, if you ask me, &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; would be a super-natural miracle.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="#comment-3244" title="View the original comment" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mark Olson on December 7, 2005 at 3:17 am said:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

For future reference, I sent an e-mail with a submission. Did it get lost or did something else go wrong?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Sorry, Mark.  I never received a submission from you.  There were several people I had to cut to make the numbers even, but you weren't one of them.  You probably fell victim to the spam trap.  The submission instructions say in bold letters that the subject must be "GOD or NOT."  Anyone who sends an email with a different subject receives an automatic reply telling them to change the subject and resend.  Was this the problem?</description>
