On the other side we have Brumar, who has started with a certainty and is determined to brush off any challenges to it. Why did I attribute human tastes to natural selection in an earlier post if I am a close-minded kneejerk defender of orthodoxy? If "God made it so," we will probably never know. Not necessarily. We may learn collectively as a species at a future time. And if the atheists and agnostics are wrong about their assumption, they and the rest of us may well learn individually and personally sooner that the species as a whole. If it happened naturally, we may eventually learn the answer if we keep looking. Learning that something happened naturally means actually learning that - not making up or accepting a simplistic explanatory story that assumes it. But right now it could have happened either way. Euterpe recognizes that. It's not at all clear to me why you won't. You're basically suggesting that I'm being intellectually stubborn and close-minded in not accepting an agnostic philosopohical position. I don't think that is warranted. The last part of my last post to Euterpe addresses the issue.
