Am I a Deist? Cosmological Argument seems reasonable to me.

I wasn't ad hominem'ing you. I was simply pointing out the limits of the "makes sense" sort of reasoning. I should have posted my own thoughts, but I was lazy and borrowed from somewhere else. In short, people frequently engage in a form of reasoning that stops at the question, "Does it make sense?" The problem is that most often the thinking stops there. Additionally, the amount of things that "makes sense" far outweighs the number of things that are true. "Makes sense" epistemology concentrates on confirmation, and completely ignores falsification. Thus employing it as a bar to what is true leaves you in a very vulnerable and weak position.

I don't think I'm under any illusions about what you are proposing. I have read the entire thread.
