But, as far as I can see (and please correct me if I'm wrong) not one of you is a theist or a religious sympathiser. Which leaves me preaching to the converted - not that I can do anything about it.
Seriously, I'd welcome a critique of the OP from the religious point of view. Is there any chance that one will be forthcoming?
So, let me see if I understand your point correctly: the idea of holding a belief based on reason, is equivalent to holding a belief based on science?
I would argue, from what I gather from your post, that your going down the path of labeling what you so please as reasonable, and unreasonable. If one gathers from his experience and observation of the world, a divine artist behind it, would that be a reasonable inference? Is the only reasonable inference, one that sees no hand?
