An unorthodox belief in God.

[mickiel]

First things first: what you believe means exactly nothing. The only thing that matters here is what you can demonstrate to be true, and as of right now, we have plenty of evidence that evolution occurs and that we are evolved animals, and no evidence for anything else. Therefore, just on the weight of the evidence, evolution is sufficient to produce consciousness.

My beliefs mean nothing to you, but are of value to me. There is evidence that cats have 90% of our genes, cows 80%, a mouse 75%, and chickens and fruitflys 60%. In my view, that is evidence that a creator used the same ingredients in many of his creations. Evidence of a mind, a mind that knew what it was doing.

Well thank you. I think the existence of god has to be considered on a universal level; a bit of thinking beyond the norm.

No, a bit of wishing that is entirely normal for the unthinking.

Don't confuse infantile wishing and self justification with thinking.

I will not insult you in return, by implying you do not think, just because we disagree; I hold no need to insult what I disagree with. I consider you a guest on this thread, and refuse to insult my guest. Only understand them, in hopes they understand me.
