Quote:Of course, all this is speculation. It's just that I see the universe as a machine that "must" have some mysterious mind behind it, one that is beyond our current comprehension. I put the "must" in quotes because I realize I could be completely deluded here.
It does sound rather like the Argument from Personal Incredulity to me "I find it unbelievable to believe that the universe can work without a mind so I therefore think it is so much more likely to have one". Where is actual evidence that any such mind is required at all?
Anyway, welcome aboard interesting member. Welcome to the forums. It's good that you're not shy about discussing about your belief(s)
P.S: I thought Einstein is more of a pantheist ("sexed-up atheism" as Dawkins would say) than a deist ("Watered down theism").
