dhw:And so unless you really believe he's [Davies} lying, why do you think he's prepared to argue the case for God and yet remains an agnostic?-Because as I read his works, he brings up very many of the reasons for God that I accept, and at the end of his discussions he suddenly pulls up short. He actually seems to be a deist to me, and I have written that. -Read this review of Davies' statements to see how I interpret him. He comes right to the edge, and so far stops short:- http://www.arn.org/docs/williams/pw_daviesreview.htm-I suspect you are very much like him
