    I agree with Shannon completely. God created everything and we are nothing without him.

    Hey Max, I thought it very interesting that the last point in your video had the question God? and your response was...No, Math! Can I suggest that your ability to do math...which requires you to be sapient in the realms of intelligence and sagacity are not the products of mass/energy...(evolution)...but rather the products of a designer...who has allowed you the ability (and you are gifted in that ability) to think His thoughts after Him. Just a thought...see Blaise Pascal.
