You don't share the same epistemology as me. Observations are not themselves evidence. I stop at the point where life is complex, and do not posit beyond that towards chance or design. > > > [EDIT] > As for the 'beholder' comment, his point is not. Far from my own. I don't make claims beyond which the knowledge at hand isn't clear. My criticism is in doing exactly that.-Your philosophic approach is exactly like John Leslie's: Either there is a God (design) and/or there is a multiverse (chance). And you mentioned awhile ago that you did not like Leslie's approach. Why is he wrong?
