I never claimed certainty because I would have to be certain there would be no altering of the continuation of evolution, in order to claim certainty. It is a strong possibility though. I don't see why you are having such a hard time with that... evolution is your big thing when trying to rake right wingers.

Just answer one question. What is your problem with this answer to the "Why is there something rather than nothing" question? I am not asking for certainty, I am asking if the treatment is common sense, at least to the level you consider evolution to be common sense. If not, what is the flaw?

============================================

"the point of view I think you will like, because it comes from one of your fave ideas ... evolution.

When we look at the wholeness of evolution in existence over time, we can see a few things that contradict Heisenberg's declaration. The trajectory of all things is change, not just change for the sake of change but change resulting in the eventual manifestation of higher states. There is continuous momentum toward the ideal (archetype, form, absolute). This is true not only in the traditional idea of biological biology, but in moral order, societal achievements, understanding of ideas, the medical lab, consciousness, anything with an ...ology at the end, etc.

The word "why" implies purpose. The purpose is to manifest higher states which come closer and closer to the ideal. The foundation of understanding this is ... get ready... conscious awareness. Observable fact, no?"
