I wonder if he also thinks that the energy to fire a diesel engine comes from "god" too. No sparkplug???
Must be a MIRACLE!
Who were you quoting?

Yes, I do admit that I have a presupposition against any god especially the Christian god. I have been there and done that so to speak. And after becoming a free thinker I find that I don't need god to explain anything. If I can't figure it out for myself then I just keep looking although I know that I may never figure it out. I am comfortable with that. Saying god did it is just too simplistic and as EVF has argued many times just creates a whole new problem. Who is this god? Where did he come from? What existed before god came along? How is his existence provable beyond submitting to faith and unprovable assumptions. Etc etc etc ad infinitum..........................................
I understand. My question is why you think things are any better with your current world view? Do you think that your current world view doesn't include unprovable assumptions? Do you think your current world view correlates better with reality? If so, why? I still am very interested in my previous question regarding the origin of logic, if you have any views on this. It seems to me like you just traded one set of questions for another. (As I said in other places, these questions may come across as being aggressive in type but I do not intent them that way. I really want to know what you think in this regard.)
