dhw:Just as you have told me at least 100 times that although intelligence must come from somewhere, your God didn't have to get his from anywhere, because he's always had it, which means intelligence doesn't have to come from somewhere after all.-Exactly. God is an eternal intelligent consciousness with all the information He needed. -> DAVID: Thank you for summarising what we see has happened and describing my position to explain it. I'm quite comfortable with it, since no one knows how it happened anyway.

> dhw: An atheist might say the same thing, and so long as you are both aware of the blinkered reasoning that buttresses your respective faiths (in a nebulous God or in blind chance), who am I to criticize? I'm an agnostic because “no one knows how it happened anyway”.-I think we have to leave it at that. We can not convince each other.
