> dhw: You may as well say perhaps we will discover that God exists. Or perhaps we will discover that life can generate itself. Such “perhapses” are neither rational nor scientific. I am not second-guessing. You begin with the premise that God exists, and therefore there has to be a divine reason for everything you see. I begin with what I see, and look for reasons. The fact that I am extremely short-sighted does not mean that I should stop looking, or that there are divine reasons for me to find!-Are you forgetting that I began my search by looking at what I see, studying the science behind it and concluded what we see requires a mind to plan it?
