Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
I don't recall putting those things together, but if you say so... And, if I may say so, you're being a tad obstinate in refusing to see my point about the legitimacy of the question. It's nothing to do with a consistent line of argument. My view of the world is that it is predicated on the laws of nature. I don't in any way discount the possibilty of some of those rules being modified in times to come, or of new rules being discovered. I see all the wondrous beauty and I sit and ponder it as much as the next person. But there's no room in my view for a being that breaks all those beautiful and harmonious laws. That may be a notion that occurs to you but it doesn't even in the remotest way occur to me. This has nothing to do with belief or not. I don't need to consider that at all, any more than I need to consider whether life on earth is being remotely controlled by a Terence Stamp lookalike on the planet Zod. Your notion of God is an interesting diversion, but ultimately I have no time for it as it can't be supported by even the slightest scrap of evidence, but good luck to you as long as you keep it to yourself and don't try to persuade impressionable people that your overwhelmingly improbable idea is the truth.
