> You say we cannot reason about the UI, but if the universe is designed as you claim, then I argue that indeed we can. Because if the universe is designed there is a few things that we CAN say we know about it, just by looking at its design.-This answer is for dhw and Matt: Just as Matt lives only in the present, and infers the past, the point I am making is quite close to Matt's statement. The approach I have taken from 'probabilities', that pure chance and a passive Darwin system cannot have created the life we see, the Earth we have, indicate a universal intelligence has to be behind it all. The complete abilities of that UI, its personality, will only be guesses. Omnipotence, loving, etc. are all religious wishful thinking. From my reasoning there is a UI, and my own hope that some human qualities are also present. On that presumption, I pray.
