It`s strange to me that the atheists like R.Dawkins try to use the evolution as the prove of god`s non existance because this is the question that science just begin to study.The idea of god-the creator of the universe is not so obvious and late one.As the scientist I see the world obeying the physical laws so complicated and inhuman that the possible creation of it have other inhuman goals.
