'pagan creation myths..' are exactly what ID is one of..
The notion that certain aspects of the processes of biology are unknowable to us, and are the selective work of a hidden hand..
which telepathically guides each molecule in each organism into place, on each occaision that the chemistry required is somewhat slightly above our current understanding of.
Its seems to start somewhere above the simpler reactions, such as enzyme manufacture and action, gets kinda shaky towards proteins, and downright mysterious at the genetic level - thats fine though - the big G, in hir ultimate wisdom thought it would be far better to leave hirself a little hobby once the world was up and running, namely missing out those sections of life-bearing processes that could be handled by the mechanics of electronegativity, osmosis etc so that He would have to intervene to keep things running. Doesnt sound like the most omnipotent and omniscient approach to creation, but what do I know ?
Even given that this creator is not contrained by linear time in the same way we mortals are, it still adds up to a heck of a lot of work, trillions and trillions of apparantly impossible reactions per second, and thats just on the one world we know about..
In all honesty, I think were he to build the universe again, creating a systematic chemistry, perfected for automated production of living systems; one that did not require constant tinkering from behind the veil of maya, would be preferable.
Maybe next time, eh ?*hey Discipler :) !! waves..
