> DAVID: But it does. Do you believe everything has a cause? In your experience have you ever seen a phenomenon or experienced one without a cause? -> In my view, both "first causes" are equally inexplicable, inconceivable and unbelievable. One of them must be right, which shows how pathetic my judgement is, but ... again in my view ... we shall never know which one.-OK, 'one of the first causes must be right'. Thank you for accepting 'first cause'. You are not pathetic. Since you cannot seem to accept chance by your previous statements, by a preponderance of what you find acceptable, you come down on the side of a first cause with direction and purpose. Will you or I ever be positively sure? No, but no one ever can be. That is our fate. So on your picket fence, as you teeter back and forth, the majority of your tipsy movements will be a majority on my side of the fence.
