> I wonder how the great disparate authorities define "pure simplicity". One of your most potent arguments for a deity has always been the extreme complexity of the mechanisms for life, evolution and consciousness ... so complex that our greatest minds cannot fathom any of them. And yet you claim that the mind that created these complexities, not to mention the astronomic complexities of a finely-tuned universe, is simple. If the creative force is "pure simplicity", you may as well believe in chance.-
I was just observing what the religous theists declare. Pure simplicity is not simple-minded. I've not found an explanation, just a declaration.
