Hiya Jeff,
I can't disagree with some of what Ross has to say I guess, but these days I don't find myself affirming or denying anything very specific in this regard. I too would like to believe we are more than the product of "conditions just right for life." The whole Christian scheme just bugs the heck out of me, though.
I just recently purchased a couple of books by Dawkings, including "The Selfish Gene" and I'm going to see what comes of them. I'm pretty familiar
with the pages on TalkOrigins already. The discovery of "proof" is quite an enigmatic process I've found. I think that the only thing Christianity has to offer that my form of deism doesn't is "life everlasting," and to be honest, I'm
harldy convinced that such a promise is trustworhty, and furthermore, I'm just not that interested (spoken as a true 27 year old I guess).
