Here's a recent interview which I found interesting. Enjo...

the interview was basically just about his personal beliefs
and career... it was too brief to make much sense out of
his philosophy. there was plenty of witty wordplay and
avoidance of the questions, but very little useful detail.
i didn't take anything away from it except that he seems
like a pretty confused guy.

lucky.

I'm sure he's a lovely fella and all - but he says he now
believes there's a God because of the argument from design.
This is like saying:

1) We can't explain everything
2) Therefore, God exists

God becomes a catch-all for everything inexplicable.
Abiogenesis? Goddidit. Cosmology? Goddidit. Can't find your
socks? Goddidit. Oh wait, here's my socks. But that's okay,
there's still plenty of things for God to do. My goodness,
it seems that the more we learn, the more questions we have
and the busier God gets.

I personally think that uncertainty is a preferable state of
mind to superstition. If you are disagreeing with fleetmouse
on this is because you are coward and baby man and need
rubber goddie-doll to suck on.

"I'm sure he's a lovely fella and all - but he says he

believes there's a God because of the argument from design.

"

yes, that's what he's saying if you take his words, remove
them and replace them with those words, but if you don't do
that, that's not what he's saying. Ridiculing his beliefs
(as I just did with your "interpretation" (oh, I did it
again!)) is a bad rhetorical trick.

I have nothing to add to the discussion beyond this because
I am going to bed, but I think you should check a few of the
concepts used.. like "aristotelean god," which is more
important regarding the "god."

In Montreal is too cold for lager. We must drink black stout
and huddle around bonfire of flaming house-pets.

Evocative, however I must challenge you, intellectually and
sexually, on the notion that it can be too cold for lager.
Lager, taken in sufficient quantities, nullifies reactions
to atmospheric conditions and can provide an economic and
eco friendly alternative to central heating.

No the libidinous gay cats keep us warm with the friction of
their lustful gyrations.

David Bowie ofcourse.

spandex pants, huge wigs, dodgy parts in films.

in fact, we could have a face-off, our innate sexiness being
the weapon of choice.

If you put all the Bowies in a room together, would the
younger more virile ones overpower the older ones, or would
the older wealthier ones purchase and enslave the younger
ones as sexual toys?

It's a theist slant. He even released a statement saying
that it is not true, though I can't find it right now.
