re: #101 Nyet

Because deism is based on as much blind faith as theism?

No. Deism is based on

“I don’t know, but maybe, just maybe, at the begining of the universe, some *thing* established the strong force, the weak force, the speed of light, and the gravitational constant and plugged it into the singularity that became our cosmos.”

And then buggered off. The *thing* doesn’t give give a fuck about our cosmos, despite having created it, doesn’t listen to our prayers, and doesn’t have any opinion in how our world is proceeding.

The *thing* created evolution and is a voyeur, at best. Not an active player.

There. Deism.
