>You have told us that you abandoned agnosticism because your scientific studies convinced you that life had been designed, and so there had to be a designer. However, your scientific studies and your powers of reason could not have taught you that the designer was still there, cared for us, and had provided us with an afterlife and guardian angels.-The afterlife expectation or conviction is based on the same kind of reasoning as the UI. How do all those NDEer's find out the info they reciece when there was no direct reality-based communication avaiable. And, remember, I don't know the designer 'cares' for us. That is religions' point of view. Guardian angel is intuition. ->
> As far as "the only logical next step" is concerned, the argument is just as applicable in reverse: namely, that the concept of your unknowable, unimaginable, hidden intelligence is impossible to accept. The only logical next step is to embrace the concept of life originating by accident. But I can't embrace that either. The pickets, however, are not so irritating to my rump that I need to jump off. -This compllicated genetic code with all its layers and the difffering codes, even the molecules that make judgments, the almost instantaneous (in Darwin terms)epigenetic modifications, seemingly Lamarkian, literally require software writing intelligence.
