Subject: RE: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
Same concern as Shimrod..
"Can you really not see, that something from nothing via no one falls neatly into that description !?"
Can YOU not see that I just don't concern myself with a conundrum that we have no way to answer? And can you not see that IF I accepted that 'something' required a creator first cause, how am I supposed to answer the obvious question as to why there was a creator in the first place?
All your belief does is push the question back one step. Granted, it makes a good story, but it requires all sorts of unproven assumptions about existence... and why a god would care... and the serious question of how a few old manuscripts got that story!
It is you, Pete(and of course, many others), who asserts that it all happened as the Christian bible seems to state..... I just don't make any assumptions, so I don't have to defend anything. (well, I do assert things about valid logic & such, but that doesn't require metaphysics.)

(And Pete... just curious...is that really you? why suddenly capitalization & punctuation? You used to not capitalize much except for 'God'. This does make reading easier.)
