Way off topic, I realize, but I can't help thinking of GW Bush, who doesn't believe in evolution, yet made his money in fossil fuels. Who know what life waits to be found on mars, or in the clouds of jupiter, or the oceans of europa, or the unimaginably large number of planets circling other stars? I don't claim to know, or even if there is, but if there is it seems reasonable to assume it's biology would be radically different than ours.
You got the right kind of thinking.

I believe very much in evolution...
I'm not saying that this "designer" created humans... no no.
I'm saying the whole system of biochemistry was designed.
The periodic table as we know it is genius. it arranges elements by their properties and by size very well and helps us visualize. We as humans have created a science out of this "chemistry"... But this chemistry is too complex (ESPECIALLY when you get into the biology aspect of it all) to have somehow evolved to become this way all by chance. We do live in a universe filled with "chaos" and its amazing how live goes againts the rules of chaos in order to arrange itself according to what best suits it.

Sorry if i'm going too deep into this for you ( ), but look at the whole aspect of inducers and repressors in gene expression. I wont explain this system of positive and negative control since i assume you already know about it... Explain to me what it is that makes you believe that a system as complex and as perfectly regulated as this was just created out of thin air, without any influence.

I'm very aware of evolution, and you are right about how much we havent discovered yet... But have you ever sat down and realized just how complex this whole thing called evolution is? Have you ever realized how many specific chemical reactions it takes for evolution to happen?
You can believe in both evolution and intelligent design... theres nothing wrong with that.
