I have a firsthand understanding of what busy schedules are like, so I can appreciate the caveat. Please take the liberty to explore my blog articles, the exchanges in the comments sections, and the sources I cite, and feel free to ask questions as you like.<BR/><BR/><B>Jerry</B>, great to see you drop by again! In fairness to Pavielle, she did not, in her <A HREF="http://thegoddebate.blogspot.com/2006/03/i-simply-dont-have-enough-faith-to-be.html" REL="nofollow">opening statement</A>, explicitly stipulate that the "guidance" she cited must be conscious, but I think this is pretty well implied. I just want to make it clear that if she supposed that the "guidance" to which she referred is not thought to be seated in a form of consciousness, she should make this clear. Then again, in her <A HREF="http://thegoddebate.blogspot.com/2006/03/rebuttal-against-ians-opening-argument.html" REL="nofollow">first rebuttal</A> to Ian, she does make it pretty explicit that whatever it is she wants to prove is supposed to possess consciousness, for she refers to it in personal terms (e.g., "He," "Him"), and ascribes to it attributes which are only meaningful on the assumption of consciousness (e.g., it can "choose" between alternatives, it is "supremely intelligent," it can purposely "design" its creations, etc.). Of course, these all turn out to be stolen concepts in the theist's hands.<BR/><BR/><B>Not Reformed</B>, HA! How did you come across that? Bunsen Burner Day! I love it! I have to share that with the crew over at Goose! <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>DawsonBahnsen Burnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030029491768748360noreply@blogger.com
