> DAVID: I hate to gang up, but that has been my constant refrain. Dhw keeps looking for a third way, but there is none. His day dream of the interaction of matter and energy somehow conjuring up the design of this universe when they are both two aspects of the same thing, makes no sense at all. [...] Reasoning to the simplest solution which can explain all is a reasonable approach. It doesn't explain the mind of God...

> Ganging up is perfectly natural......You personally like to distance yourself from such conflicts by refusing to give any attributes to the designer. I must say that for me a God without attributes might just as well not be there, so I wonder why you don't just say “SOMETHING” caused life but we don't know what it is. Wouldn't that be "the simplest solution"?-I don't give attributes to God simply because I don't believe I can know them. Why do you want to personalize Him, other then to conjure up straw man arguments about what He means to accomplish? Yes, something caused life. The complexity of life's biochemistry forces me to conclude it needs a designer. You stick to a simplistic form of negative thinking, by stopping short of reaching any conclusion which cannot be proven. Again, it takes some faith that your reasoning carries logic. Chance or design is all there can be.
