Just doing some research and found this :The marine fossils in question have been found deep INSIDE layers of rock in the mountaintops, not "on" them. This clearly suggests that they were laid down and buried deep before the mountains themselves were raised and formed and NOT deposited there by floodwaters as the argument implies. I agree with what you say about the how being clear. It's the why that is not. However, to me it isn't far fetched that there isn't a cosmic purpose for life, but just the byproduct of natural processes. Consider this, we know life needs four elements. Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Nitrogen. All elements come from the left overs of dead and "living" stars. There are roughly 70 Billion Trillion stars in the universe, a lot of them just like our sun, and almost all of them have planets orbiting them. The probability of life elsewhere in the universe in rather high. Just because life doesn't need a why, doesn't make it any less valuable. In the same way that a child who was an "accident" isn't any less loved by their parents.
