Besides that 'can't see anything else' argument, how does one conclude that it is the only mechanism?

That's not the issue. Evolution is the best theory/model we have so far. Until it has real competition, it is the "defending champion".

And it's the only one that has any real evidence behind it so far. If human babies were born with "Made in Heaven, Copyright 6000 B.C., God" on their tushies, then creationism would get some points.

One would expect most things to be beyond human understanding, so why not the nature of a creator if one exists?

Perhaps, but that's speculation and should be labelled as such.

It's creators all the way down!

The administrative meetings must be a b1tch; oh the egos

but the sad truth is that her administration causes more problems on a daily basis than her students do.

And she thinks administrators/managers in the private sector are better???

Perhaps a career where she's her own boss may be more fitting for her personality. Tutoring rich kids, maybe.

Apparently you interpret that very differently than I do.

yet other polls say church attendance is down,

Does iChurch count?

You conservatives keep talking about how great the Constitution is, yet want to ignore the parts you don't like, such as the separation of church and state.

Evolution is not about the origin of matter. Further, we know the process of evolution exists, observed it (in part), and know how it works. We don't know a (different) process that makes creators out of nothing (or simpler stuff).

A devoted Recursionist, I see

How does "divinely guided" work?

"Let's see, longer legs, smoother teeth, less fur,....um....fuckit man, let's go Vegas-style tonight: Be There a Random Mutation!"
   

My understanding is that there were too many accidental clues in the code that pointed to us and the "izzies". The press kept probing these clues and after a while the State Dept. had to admit it.
