So, with the massive and completely mystifying assumption of a designed world (and the implication that the designed world is somehow a test tube or sounding grounds for a morality or way of valuing things that you have not expressed) - and assuming free-will, or choice....then it would be "better" if we had factors influencing our "choice" - and you offer this as an excuse for why no one seems to be able to demonstrate this choice?
.....................
Here I am just asking someone to demonstrate a choice in their beliefs......while you invent worlds to allow for them - immediately followed by an excuse for why you won't be able to demonstrate them. I think I like my way better Mystic.
(iow, you're flirting with an attempt to manufacture an unfalsifiable position)
