dhw: You do a wonderful job of defending your own faith, but you have always admitted that ultimately reason is not enough ... one must take a gigantic leap. If you then criticize others for leaping in a different direction, or for not leaping at all, you simply enter the realm of pots and kettles.-My problem is I think the 'leap in another direction' is not a leap at all but a nebulous hope that there is some weird sort of 'third way' to get around the requirement of a leap across the chasm. There is still only chance or design. If you reject chance only design is left. But inventing a third way hasn't happened. All of the scientists who point out the problem stop after they have pointed it out. There is nothing suggested after the stop, except to say 'we have a problem'. 'We' don't, they do because the next logical step is not allowed in their minds. I see nothing wrong with faith.
