It's not that I'm making guesses, Bill. It's that I am considering different possible answers, but not insisting on any of them...simply giving them fair consideration. And I may lean toward one or another answer...I may favor one over another...indeed I do...but I don't insist upon it. I merely favor it to a considerable extent.

I favor the notion that it's not all just an accident, and that we sense meaning because meaning has always been there right from the beginning....not just because we arbitrarily made up meaning out of nothing. We do arbitrarily make up a certain amount of stuff, for sure...but not the stuff that actually matters.

I don't suggest that the concept "a Divine Creator" defines meaning. That's just 2 words people might use to describe something they have no idea of how to describe in any kind of complete fashion. We use the word "life" to describe the whole conscious experience of living, but that's just another word, and hardly sufficient to define the experience. It labels the experience. It does not define it. "Divine Creator" likewise is simply a label.
