>Blue: Right, but I started that thrust asserting the universe was created. If the universe was created, what would be the sections that would require the most adjustment. David's (and others) arguments are precisely in line with what you say here. The claim is that because there were more chances for things to go wrong than to go "right," that clearly the scenario has to have had a creator god--playing with dice.

> A great question for David would be: "How can a being without access to advanced technology do the kinds of things you claim?" -How do you know how much the UI is capable of? By definition you can't nor should you postulate what you cannot know about the UI. God is presumably behind the quantum wall of uncertainty. We are on this side and from our prespective of reality can never penetrate it. The UI may know the control over the dice.

> The best point here was reminding me that Many Worlds and Consistent Histories are both also interpreted hypotheses themselves and don't have any more intrinsic merit--aside from the fact that we'll be able to test SOMETHING about them. (Something still lacking from design explanations.)-Again, presupposing what theoretically cannot be done. There will never be proof of many worlds, based on sister particles interacting, because that is one of the glimpses we get of quantum uncertainty. We interact by observing and cause the reaction. I realize, not understanding the math, that consistent histories tries to make Copenhagan more acceptable and less vague, but we still don't go to the underside of that reality, and I strongly feel we not supposed to ever find a way. God is hiding there, and prefers that situation.
