> dhw: While I cannot believe that chance is capable of assembling such mechanisms, nor can I believe in a universal intelligence that came from nowhere. And so just as the term "convergence" tells us nothing about HOW different organisms come up with similar solutions, the term "First Cause" tells us nothing about HOW an intelligent designer could simply be there. Such expressions merely provide a linguistic cloak for the unsolved mysteries ... -Some things are meant to be mysterious. We humans are not meant to know everyting, much as we might desire. Leaps of faith are required, especially to get down from a fence. Why is there something rather than nothing? The most profound question in philosophy. Raised hundreds of years ago, and I haven't seen a reasonable answer yet.
