Even before I was Christian, I never believed that. Not all Wiccans or pagans do, case. It's ok to believe this is all random chance if you want, but listen to what nature is telling you. There *is* a watchmaker. Doesn't matter what his/her name is...you'll feel him/her when you're out there....

I've never really understood why there's such a bias against evolution being a part of Creation. Why this need for humans to have emerged in this precise configuration, anyway?

I don't think evolution and the notion of Creation need to be mutually exclusive, but people who don't see a relationship sure do feel strongly about it.

By the way...I don't think I intimated anywhere that what I was saying was representative of *all* Pagan thinking or belief (not stated toward you, OC...I think you and I understand each other pretty well ).
