Are we really going to have to rehash all of this again?  We went around in
circles the last time over that particular comparison.

But all right, here goes:

Going from memory, since I've already deleted the relevant mail packets from
my computer,  I interjected a possibility that if God existed and created
the universe, that there was not necessarily any direct interest in it by
God.  The much maligned example was to show an example of something being
made and then more or less left to its own devices, barring serious FUBAR.
The final three words in my synopsis above were never actually stated in my
previous attempts, since the comparison itself became the subject of such
scrutiny.
