When your analysis and the flipping of a coin produces the same odds for a correct answer, your reasoning is worthless.

@kellyjay saidI refer to the fact that this thread is about how speculation like yours - you choosing "to commit" - does not create a burden of proof for anyone else.
Do you refer me to something that you claim cannot be answered? This more of your hard hitting analysis at work?
@kellyjay saidThis kind of thing from you is not engaging anything I have said.
You don’t have to do anything including replying to a question you admit that you have no idea about, and even the pondering of it you think cannot tell us anything. Head in sand!
@fmf saidYou don’t have a stance that would require a position and all you got is a, “No one knows” and well nothing. Even your no one knows is an accretion not a position due to reason. You can not even bring yourself to taking a side in a binary choice without being wishy washy. A mind is a terrible thing to waste!

@fmf saidYou have not answered my question and your changing that topic just shows you avoiding it, running away, attempting to confuse the issue, a rhetorical mind game.

@kellyjay saidThere is no onus to "take a side".The fact that the origin of the universe is a profound mystery does not require us, philosophically or morally, to "take a side" in the way that theists do. Perhaps the origin is explained by a creator entity; perhaps all we can know about the nature of this entity is the ever expanding insight that science gives us into the nature of the universe.

@kellyjay saidNonsense. The topic is in the OP.

@kellyjay saidYou believe that our disagreement over this is caused by some problem with my intellect?
A mind is a terrible thing to waste!
@fmf saidKellyJay, what do you think gives us the best insight that humans have into the nature of the creator entity, if there is one?

KellyJay, what do you think gives us the best insight that humans have into the nature of the creator entity, if there is one?
@kellyjay said"His"? A man, a male?
We were made in His image, so there are things about us that are completely
different than the rest of the animal world. I agree some create gods in their
image, but in the beginning, it was the other way around.
@kellyjay saidI have addressed your use of the words "mindlessness" and "mind" several times but you ignored them every time. You are not conversing in good faith.
No, I think you have to avoid making concrete statements concerning things like
mindlessness and mind to keep valid your worldview, you have no choice.
