> dhw: I don't see how anyone can claim to know God's purpose without attempting to read his mind! A deist might argue that the higgledy-piggledy history of cosmic and evolutionary comings and goings makes it “obvious” that your God set things going (e.g. for fun, or as an experiment) and then left them to run their own course, instead of the whole shebang being designed to create humans. The processes we observe are wide open to different “readings”. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I don't see how you can claim that your interpretation of God's purpose is anything other than a subjective attempt to read his mind.-I think I can be allowed to read His mind for purpose but not for process, just a the deist example above.
