DAVID: Like Einstein who wanted an eternal universe, I propose an eternal initial intelligence.-dhw: I don't think your proposal of an eternal intelligence is anything like the proposal of an eternal universe. However, I'm impressed by the morale-raising implications of your comparison. Like Shakespeare, I write plays.:-D
 
DAVID: There had to be an eternal something at the beginning or there would be nothing at all now.-Agreed. Energy and matter. A theistic version: the energy is an eternal intelligence. An atheistic version: intelligence evolved out of matter (at some time after the Big Bang, if it happened). Agnostic version: yeah, well, one or the other, with possible variations.
