> dhw:"And you will then assert..." No, David, what I assert over and over again is that I find BOTH scenarios equally impossible to believe! That is the nature of agnosticism. -No, dhw; I've been needling you. There is a quote in my new book which roughly says agnosticism is an unwillingness to believe in or accept either side. You may remember it.

> 1) Do I believe that chance could create the complexities of life and consciousness? Answer: no. I find it incredible.
> 2) Do I believe in an eternal, non-created intelligence vast enough to create universes, and yet also able to assemble the tiny blobs of material necessary for life and consciousness? Answer: no. I find it incredible.

> Agnosticism for me is not believing in chance and not believing in a designer: as Matt puts it, equal incredulity. -Of course! But many agnostics don't understand your position.
