Great answer - while I believe there is some greater force (not a god specifically, but a degree of order to the evolution of the universe) - I appreciate your logic as to the crossing off of items on the list caused by god. Alos, please let me add that when I say greater force, I mean some logic/order greater than the human mind can currently comprehend - like the fact that all land mammals are quadrapeds or bipeds with two eyes, two ears, one heart, etc and that mammals all developed under certain conditions at certain times, dinosaurs at another, etc. Creationism would place them all on earth at the same time… which would probably drop us back down the food chain a bit! I also believe that there is other life on other planets and while I do not believe that it is necessarily close by (in relative terms) or that it has visit us, or even that we may get to visit it or communicate with it in my lifetime, I am willing to bet that on planets with conditons much the same as our own (oxygen, nitrogen and carbon base), it will have developed in similar ways and attained similar forms to our own.
Thanks for your comment. Whether or not I believe that assuming that a force is inherently ‘beyond our comprehension’ is dangerous is irrelevant, it appears that you have personally put a lot of thought into what you believe and that’s all I can ask from anyone.
