Rattling Around

Nope, eye complexity doesn't convince me of Intelligent Design; quite the contrary. The wonderful diversity of eyes convinces me of evolution! If there is any one thing that would make me consider that Intelligent Designer, it would be the amazing, wonderful and unique water molecule!! Now that is a far-out design. It is liquid over such a wide range of temperatures, it dissolves so many things, it's frozen form (ice) is expanded compared to the liquid form (so that ice floats on water), it has such a high heat capacity, and such a high surface tension. Hydrogen bonds are so important in so many biochemical molecules and reactions. Water seems to be inextricably linked with life (at least the life forms we know of), and everywhere we find liquid water we find life (so far). Ask your local chemist or biologist what makes water so special...
