> dhw: It's all pots and kettles. Atheists mock theists for believing in the hypothesis of an eternal intelligence, and theists mock atheists for believing in the hypothesis of a multiverse. Science doesn't come into either belief, and how can it, since the objects of both beliefs are unfalsifiable, untestable and unobservable (unless God decides to put in an appearance)? Yep, pots and kettles. If science is not agnostic, it's not science.-This is where faith rears its ugly head, for those who wish to be convinced by their own innate logic. We are allowed faith if we wish.
