Its an opinion we owe our existence to a personal agent who purposely created the universe and caused humans to exist. There is no religious connotation but it does have philosophical ramifications. For instance it gives reason to believe humans are special and created equal as opposed to the idea humans are the untended by product of the laws of physics and thus our existence is an accident.

There is actually a 'feeling' that an agent personal specifically to you created everything, humans included?  Really?

Its not a feeling, its an opinion based on facts, data and observation. I have an opinion that OJ Simpson murdered two people. I don't have a feeling he did it I have a belief based on the available evidence. I can't be sure he did...no one can.
