The Horrors of Evolution (Evolution)
I think we are in reasonable agreement on the information, and our differences are in what interpretations to make. Everyone wants to know what's behind the curtain. You can either make the atheist assumption that nothing is behind the curtain, the theist assumption that there is an intelligence behind the curtain and all that is required is to deduce it's characteristics or the agnostic assumption that what is behind the curtain is unknowable. We are looking for certainty where there can be no certainty. Dhw, I think you have come to the end of the road. To resolve your question, you must make an assumption. In one direction lies the assumption that reality is limited to what is provable by humans. In another direction lies the assumption that anecdotal evidence can be trusted to point to reality. The third direction is the assumption that neither human reason nor anecdotal evidence will yield ultimate reality.
