Klor really loves his conflations, doesn't he? He also loves avoiding the burden of proof for his beliefs and will go to any lengths to do so.

I am not advocating that people turn into solipsists and live alone in psychiatric hospitals, either.... The problem of other minds is only important because it doesn't have conclusive logical arguments, but only arguments of analogical or probabilistic type... An atheist's position is usually just that with regards to God. We say that apparent design around us is sufficient basis to accept there is a God, they want more... well, if you want more about God, why didn't you ask for more about other minds...?A designer, if could you prove design (which you can’t, or haven’t yet at least), definitely doesn’t get you to a personal god. But, as has been explained to you over and over here, appearance of design is not a reliable method for detecting design, because some things that appear designed are designed, and some things aren’t.
I agree it's not the same thing. But "appearance of design pointing to a designer" and "things that look like people point to other minds" aren't really very different. And, no reason to mention love, plans and afterlife for now. I don't claim these arguments lead all the way to a personal God.
