But you call yourself a "deist" which implies acceptance of some sort of "deity". You chose to saddle yourself with that moniker and it carries all sorts of baggage.
Keep the flak jacket.
I feel that there is enough scientific evidence to point to something cannot come from nothing in origin or execution, the destruction and creation cycle works to well in this universe, it is not pure chaos at all and that is the biggest indicator of some force of order.
whether God is a mind like deity which I'm starting to doubt or that God is the Universe and is a force of will within it and we are all part of said being as we are made of stardust ourselves is speculation but seeing as space is eternal something strange has developed and i believe it to be at the very least likely and am happy with my position, what I would not be happy with is a position where I simply think everything is pure chaos and random action.
I'm sending you the flak jacket 1st class with no return address.
