"I thought you were implying that people of faith are unable to provide you with rational explanations for their beliefs about the universe and existence. Seems you are now saying you lack the intelligence or the inclination to deal with it." And you provided reasons for a religious rational for belief in creation?? Let me rerun a major portion of your treatise.... The universe of space and matter is observable to us because the distinct parts are noticeable from sun to particle by their positions in space. As they collapse into something more uniform and therefore less distinct, we are less able to notice them as relative parts of the universe separated by space...driven apart by differences. Their movements away from uniformity or collapses into uniformity are noticeable as space/time events. Through entropy diversity is diminished and distinct parts disappear, as does their distinct position in space. In other words they become so much a part of the whole that they have no identity of their own... a sound blending in becomes no sound, a ripple in the lake eventually disappears, and becomes 'nothing', it no longer exists as a distinct piece of the universe.
