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

I like to consider the possibility of an amiguous pluralism.  For example, it could be that the universe is in a state of superposition: it's neither material nor spiritual, individually one or the other, or both together.  It may be that the universe "behaves" as spiritual, or idealistic, or material depending on how we are interacting with it.
