> > > I agree with David that the choice is between design and chance, but I do not have to [i]"choose one or the other". [/i]This is where it gets complicated. I believe that the odds against chance are astronomical, but I cannot separate the designer from the design. - dhw: The problem with your position is that you are at the point of accepting a designer, as long as you can be sure of what He represents, that is, his own attributes. But that is exactly what we cannot know, as God is purposely concealed. It appears you want to have faith, but with guarantees as to what you have faith in. Religions give us messages about that, but none of us know that those messages are accurate. BBella and I have made up our own concepts that we are comfortable with. Either you can do that or you can't,and I don't any way past that point, with demands on the God you want to have faith in.
