> >[dhw] David's argument has always been that the complexity of the mechanisms that have given rise to life and evolution is so great that he can't believe they came about by accident. Nor can I. David goes a lot further than that, because he actively believes in a designer, whereas I am stuck with my negative non-belief.

> Why so negative? If life appeared, not be accident, then, believing as I do, why can't you take the next step. The intelligence is a 'force' of some sort. How do you view it?-I stand (a long moment) at this same precifice (dhw's intersection) as well, David, viewing all possibilities (witin my radar) of just what IS the fabric? Whether it be one eternal designer with intelligent personality or one eternal resource? My faith can take me from this intersection at any moment, when needs be, but in-between, I fall right back to this intersection (fence) of unknowing. -I'm sure you have studied and searched to know what you know, and all of it together with experience helped in bringing you to your conclusion of a designer, with faith allowing you that infintesimal quantum leap you are asking dhw to take. But with all that said, what would you say is the one thing that brought you assurance that this "force" (fabric/resource) is more than just quantum ingredients of an eternal soup used by it's own ingredients to create what IS? Why can't the nature of the soup/fabric itself (seen and unseen) be all that it IS? To your mind, why is 'it' a "He?"-bb
