re: #82 Equable
Exactly, which is why I earlier said that I will never refer to myself as a “creationist” ever again. The term is starting to stink to all high heaven.
For my part, I see the God I worship as “intelligent” who made a wonderful “design” in this universe.
I think understanding that He could create a universe that allows for and would develop intelligent life, just from the laws of physics He created, is truly awe-inspiring, much more so than a cosmic magician who pulled Adam out of a hat, if you will.
