1) How do we know that the Creator is not a flying spaghetti monster? We don't...but Occam's razor says that's too complicated an answer. Ummm.. it further might say that just positing a 'creator' is making too many assumptions.

2) If we are going to "believe in" the Bible, how do we know which version to choose to believe in? Whatever Daddy believed in is the usual answer.
3) Wouldn't such a choice have to have some reasons for it? There ARE reasons....as in "Daddy said so"
4) Wouldn't those reasons want to be factual? The answer I keep hearing is that "In religion, the kind of facts you refer to aren't available. We must look to other sources of enlightenment. Open your heart, and you will see." Sounds 'slippery', but such answers are presented quite seriously.


Sadly, most of your questions are just dismissed by those who never ask such questions.
