dhw: Where do you get “intended” from? And you still haven't explained why you think your God found it necessary to organize 25 evolutions of multicellularity in order to produce one species.-DAVID: You asked for Simon Conway Morris' reasoning. I've given it to you.-Please tell me why YOU think your God found it necessary to organize 25 evolutions of multicellularity in order to produce one species.-DAVID: If one of the great philosophers of the 20th Century touts the method, why shouldn't I. You seem to forget, find the evidence then make up your mind. Ergo, agnostic to belief. -dhw: “Proving beyond a reasonable doubt” carries all the weight of a legal judgement. It is as close to objectivity as one can hope to get in a court of law. Explaining one's personal religious beliefs is a different kettle of fish.-DAVID: I'm simply following Adler.-I've never known you to “simply follow” without thinking things through for yourself! If you agree that “proving beyond a reasonable doubt” is not an expression applicable to such a subjective judgement as belief in God, then be brave: stand up to “one of the great philosophers of the 20th century”!
