Complex patterns & intelligent design.

I started the week by relating knitting and Grey's Anatomy to my believe that we are capable of tapping into the spiritual realm to be co-creators with the divine.

So, to give equal time to the brilliance of science, I'm sharing yesterday's news that paleontologists have discovered fossils of a 375 million-year-old fish that they say is the "missing link" that provides proof that we evolved from the sea. Within the fins of this creature are the beginnings of fingers, wrists, arms and shoulder bones.

Now, not to stir up the whole primordial soup, but I just don't think this whole creation vs. evolution thing has to be so either/or. Why can't it be a bit of both?  Perhaps some divine force created an incredibly complex pattern and cast on a universe and we've been knitting it every since. (I think the pattern was once in Vogue.)

Perhaps the first humans inhabited a "garden of Eden." And most assuredly, there were sheep in the garden  - which definitely could have resulted in some nice knitted or felted fig leafs. (Sorry, could not find a pattern.)

I did find this adorable pattern from Australia of these knitted dinosaurs . The pattern may not be the most intelligent design but it should only take about six days to create. On the seventh, you can rest!

The pattern was in Vogue? No wonder things are so messed up! They never edit their patterns very well!
