Well, obviously the desire part has nothing to do with epistemology--That's just good ol' human nature. And desire transcends all rational bounds, as I'm sure you're aware, so I kinda disagree with you here. Desire against all odds is a tragically human characteristic. But in this, the discussion is in justifying a creator that is somehow outside of the natural world, yet can influence it in undetectable ways...-I see no way to justify that. -The meat of your post here is more targeted to my response in the Natural Selection thread. Butfor now let's say that while I share an incredulity about the origin of life, I also recognize methodological materialism as the only real means to answer these questions. So our primary means excludes the supernatural by default... so yes, I lean materialist here, because I don't see a way out.-More later... at work...

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
