The concept of a ''creator entity'' has been a popular one,
               quite  possibly  originating  with  early  language.  If  Homo
               erectus  had  the  ability  for  language,  some  supernatural
               entity would have served as an explanation for thunder. To

               the primitive mind, some variation of "God did it" would have
               seemed quite plausible and even reasonable since it could be
               used  to  explain  almost  anything.  It  was  such  a  useful
               explanation that there are about 3000 or so different versions
               from various cultures around the world. Unfortunately, there
               is not a shred of evidence for any of them. They were however,
               testimony to the inquisitiveness and creativity of the human
               species.


               A  recent  version  involves  an  entity  titled  "Intelligent
               Designer"  that  serves  the  same  purpose  but  attempts  to
               dissociate itself from religion. Court cases have not seen
               that as a valid argument nor has it earned the respect most
               of  those  men  and  women  who  have  dedicated  their  lives  to
               science.
