Re: God In A Box
I'm still trying to figure this out.

This doesn't make sense. There's not one evolutionary process. You mean, lots of processes? Random processes. Lots of them. The processes are sometimes random, other times not.

I consist of chemicals. Mindless chemicals. I grew in my mother. As mindless particles getting together to what I am today. I'm not too sure why you think it's a problem.

...of any kind let alone sentient life can't be that aimless.
Why do you think I'm 'that' aimless?
You really didn't make any sense, GDR.

I would argue that if you think your original source was mindless and that there is no God, you are still mindless.
I'm not too sure what you're trying to convey here. It doesn't follow from from my comment.
Should I try to explain it more carefully to be understandable? When some parts of the DNA from my father and some parts of the DNA from my mother combined (by way of chemical reactions), I was formed. Chemicals. All just chemical reactions. I am the result of a chemical reaction. And then, after that, lots and lots of chemical reactions were involved. Now I'm still here more than fifty years later. With a brain.

OK, so you are conceding the idea o a prime mover although you are actually agnostic on the point yourself.
That's what gets me to know that a lot of religious people talk nonsense. Trying to provide evidence for 'prime movers' more that 13 billion years ago doesn't provide any evidence that any forms of the 'prime movers' exist today. At all.
