I know you didn't ask me but in case you don't know already EP, I think deism is completely unreasonable... just more probable than personal gods which are absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic on a cartoon level.
I'd say the probability of deistic gods are still next to nothing. Just less ridiculous and more probable.
I mean, any kind of supernatural deity being at the very beginning of existence sounds very absurd to me. The universe goes from the simple to the more complex. Even a non-personal deity that just creates the universe and does fuck all sounds very ridiculous to me. Just less ridiculous and improbable on the cartoonish level that personal theistic gods are.
What d'you reckon?
Oh and EP please consider my post to you entirely impersonal. I can do impersonal with you. I'm good at impersonal when I try to be impersonal. I don't want to stop discussing stuff on AF with you just because we're not exactly friends right now (biggest understatement of my life... you'd be my enemy if I actually had enemies). And I was wrong to ever think me and you were alike, at least in personality or character. We're exact opposites IMO.
