Re: Repeat after me
You gotta believe something
Why? If you are not yet sure about something, why not say so, and wait for better evidence before making up your mind?

Re: Repeat after me
I have philosophical problems with pantheistic kinds of religions because I presume the creator(s) to be of greater complexity and depth than the creation.
Why do you need to presume this? You seem to be overlooking the possibility of processes creating complexity.
Same with evolution, from a very wide angle point of view: random mutations and natural selection - a couple of sentences are supposed to explain the fantastic complexity of life? I don't think so, Tim.
Why not, if the sentences describe a very powerful mechanism?
