> DAVID: Please do not tell me what I can believe. In my view parts of our reality require invention.

> dhw: My apologies - that was badly phrased. My point, of course, was that one belief is as unlikely as the other, so the same act of irrational faith is required for each of the hypotheses. It was not meant personally. I agree that parts of our reality require invention. The issue is whether that invention stems from the reality we think we know (and may be able to investigate), or from a totally different form of reality, for the existence of which there is no direct evidence.-Accepted, and I agree with your analysis. But the indirect evidence points to a supernatural source in my view.
