> Tony: Convergence is even harder to explain in common evolution or your intelligent genome theory. Two independent intelligences arriving to the same precise solution to a given problem without contact between them is extremely unlikely, verging on impossible. There was a theory about that at one point, but I can not remember the name of it. -Simon Conway Morris bases an entire book on convergence to show teleology: "Life's Solution".

> Tony: I don't. As I keep stating repeatedly, every one of these theories, including mine, requires faith. However, there is no reason that your faith should not be based on sound reason and logic. I labeled it willful disbelief because that is what it is. -Dhw has told us why. To paraphrase him, he has told us he cannot imagine a God as first cause, even though he accepts the idea of a first cause as reasonable. I cannot imagine God either, nor can anyone else, but He is a logical endpoint to reach from all we know.
