Adrian, in past discussions with you on origins it certainly seems to me like you were using materialistic presuppositions as a basis for your argumentation and yet you say here that you reject materialism. So what areas of your thinking does this rejection of materialism affect and how does it affect this area? Or do you merely reject materialism on an intellectual agnostic basis, effectively living you life as a materialist? (I am not trying to be argumentative here. I am just curious as your quote above seems (but is not necessarily) inconsistent.)
