OK, whatever. Maybe you'll learn about it someday.

These sort of threads allways lose me in there wide range of Vocabulary. These sort of people should rule the world. lol

However on topic, apologies for my abysmal use of sentence structure and vocab in my first post. O'nus the bit you didnt understand was the bit that I hadnt actualy quoted.

I dont think you answered it very well or not in the simple terms that mere mortals as myself understand, I cannot see how you can tell me or anyone else that we cannot say that GOD made it that way? He/She/It just decided oh what the heck Ill create a Magnetic field for all mass and have it flip every thousand years just as an example?

I was just watching Sam Harris lecture from last year's Beyond Belief conference, and he provided a good context for this question by distinguishing between evidence suggesting a god vs. being compatible with a god. When you look at evidence with the assumption that there is a god and ask, is this evidence compatible with my belief?--as you point out, you can always answer yes. If, however, you examine the evidence of cosmology, biology, history and other disciplines, and you ask instead, what does this evidence suggest?--the existence of a benevolent, involved creator is unlikely to come up.

Thank you, I like that answer. That is a very interesting way to look at this repetitive view that alot of Christians come up with.
