The Sermon Part 2 (Agnosticism)

BBella is right. It is possible to make up all sorts of imaginative fantasies or science fiction or just-so stories to explain our place in the universe, and we can have aesthetic reasons for liking to believe they might be true. In fact the concepts of a god or a designer are just examples of this imaginative fiction. So long as you realise that it is fiction there need be no objection. It is when believers start to claim that their fantasies are reality that problems arise.
