  2. Thank you for noting my herring. I'm flattered. As for the other matter regarding trees and noise, the underlying and empirically valid assumption is that the Earth's environment is conducive to the the existence and flourishing of trees, some of which have been known to fall. Aside from your impressively synergistic combination of boredom and limitless imagination, what is basis of your implicit assumption that the universe is conducive to the sprouting of gods?

  5. Its a fact we don't understand reality. If we did we would have all the answers to what gravity is, dark energy, etc.

  7. "Thank you for noting my herring."

    You are welcome, and thanks for the admission of employing a logical fallacy...

    "what is basis of your implicit assumption that the universe is conducive to the sprouting of gods?"

    Since I am not a polytheist, I don't know of gods...

    God though has limitless aspects and qualities, so I suppose some who have limited thinking and humanistic vision observe one aspect of the one God and think of gods...

    Just as someone wearing red glasses only sees red...

  8. Just my opinion based on how much order exists in our Universe. I think the odds are too great for it not to be a creating orgnaizing force out there.

    Evolution is the result of how this creating force operates.

    Creator isn't a personality and is not the God of the Bible. God of the Bible is given human faults and emotions.
