[i]Agnostic [/i]is generally a very lovely way that folks like me like to describe ourselves , rather than saying ''complete pussy that won't hop off the fence either way' If you want to be fancy about it there's a thing called [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_Wager]Pascals Wager[/url]. But purely on a personal level, and relevant not at all to all the above belly-aching and supposition done by me, I just remember the line... [i]There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. [/i] - Hamlet (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio The Universe is very, very big. And very, very strange. I can make [slightly] educated assumptions about human biology. But I'd be a complete ass to assume I know the full map and skein of reality. To say there is definitively [i]nothing [/i]else is to say there's no lego brick under my chair right now. I can look right now, and turns out there isn't. But its a big place. And there are a lot of chairs. And one day there just might be a lego brick. Earlier on I banged on about time-scales and probability and so on. Within the relatively humble confines of our planet, I feel I can comment. But when those time-scales were extended, and the area of concern pushed forward, to encompass the truly humbling and unimaginable scale of the Universe around us....who am I to even suggest to *anyone* different of how that majesty operates? A vibration in the mind of a deity. A causal anomaly so perfectly unique that it deserves the word 'sacred'. The speck in the eye of a great turtle carried upon an elephant. Much petty degenerative name-calling often divides the camps that call themselves Creationist, or Humanist, or Evolutionist. But they tend to forget what unites them. However you want to define the term, by theology or mathematics, Humanity is miracle - and the man next to you is your brother.
