Evolution has far too much evidence to completely discount the idea. I say this a trained biologist. You say that the odds against evolution are too staggering to believe? but I'd argue that the nature of any nucleotide molecule is self-preservation. If you could make our world over and over again, any RNA molecule you put on the planet will evolve in to life. We are just the inherent outcome of one of the simplest chemicals around - who could design such a beautifully simple system? G_d?

I think Heraclitus' quote is elegant, but it could be more so; Heraclitus is also noted for saying 'Panta Rhei', it's greek and means "Everything changes." It has the same poetic denotation as his previously mentioned quote, but this version is quicker and catchier!
