n fact, quite frankly I think you are more likely to come up with correct opinions about those questions than you are about why God permits suffering in the world.

I agree because those are simple questions. Sperm don't think when they swim towards the egg and leaves that have fallen from a tree and been raked in to a pile don't feel anything when they are burnt. I fail to see what that has to do with having an opinion on or a discussion about big complex moral and metaphysical ideas and questions including the if the universe was created by a sentient being and the nature of such a being.
