Douglas Ada...Thank you for sending this link, ben. Douglas Adams is quite an entertaining writer and speaker. He has some very interesting things to say in this speech, like "in the absence of an intentional creator, you cannot say what life is," and "without a god, life is only a matter of opinion." <BR/><BR/>I also was intrigued by his point that "Man the maker" of tools looks around at his world and wonders, "who made this?" and then comes up with the idea of a creator God who creates just like Man does. It made me wonder, though, why we don't think of God creating us the way a woman "creates" a baby, bringing that child out of her own body by an unconscious and elaborate process -- she doesn't put a baby together like a piece of machinery. Maybe THAT is how God creates the universe!<BR/><BR/>RaimaRaimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041630266649308255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231798586835705754.post-49562830509185035472008-05-11T18:09:00.000-04:002008-05-11T18:09:00.000-04:00"Is there an Artificial God?"
