> > David Turell's panentheism seems to me to represent the furthest one can go by reason alone (see his latest posting). - This statement about my position needs refinement. I arrived at a conclusion that there had to be a greater power based on scientific discoveries that offered no other resonable explanation. But reasoning that a greater power 'should' exist, based on evidence, is not the same as fully accepting that there is a greater power. Back to Pascal's 'leap of faith'. dhw knows the evidence, which I consider achieving a level of 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. dhw is not willing to take the leap. Adler discusses this in Chapter 17 of "How to Think About God", called "To the Chasm's Edge". I do accept there is a greater power religions call God. I am not sure how 'personal' God is, but I have reached a point of faith in Him and that I can relate to Him in prayer.
