> dhw: May I take it that you have now withdrawn the argument that an atheist belief in an infinite number of universes, which you also believe in, is a poppycock dodge to avoid design? -When I discussed the possibility that God might have created other universes in the past, it was a response to your question about God's past time. We theists know He created this one, therefore that may be what He does, one after another. It is not a theory, it is not a point of faith, it is a plausable answer to your question.

The claim that the cause was an intelligence concerning which we do not know where or how it came to exist, or if it had a cause, still puts one huge mystery in place of another. If it is reasonable for you to live with one insoluble mystery because of your faith in God, it must be equally reasonable for an atheist to live with another insoluble mystery because of his faith in chance. -But even you reject chance from your padded fence. How can you defend the atheists as possibly correct in their views? The evidence is skewed my way.
