If you would not consider intelligent design a responsible science(as I don't), how can you consider an a priori belief in God a responsible metaphysics (as I do)? I have never been able to answer the question of why I believe in God with the same degree of robust analytical persuasiveness as I've been able to answer why I reject Intelligent Design(as a science).
I believe in God because reductionism (bottom up causality) fails to account for the world as we know it. If our personhood is an emergent property of our complex neurobiology, and the cosmos can't be less complex than a single human brain, then I see no reason to deny that a level of reality exists that is beyond the physical cosmos, and has the ability to exercise some measure of top-down causality.

Pardon me? You do realise you have just copied the Discovery Institute argument for intelligent design right? It's a pure argument from ignorance; "I can't figure how it happened so it must have been a god"
What is it that you don't think can be accounted for exactly?
This shit is real. I have a book by Graham Hancock who is a complete charleton and makes millions from selling books to unsuspecting fools like me. They are full of crap about archeology i.e. pseudo-archeology and alien conspiracy theories. It's all presented matter-of-fact.
Fortunately Graham Hancock is a widely discredited archeologist.
heh I personally think aliens possibly exist out there, but I have doubts they ever arrived here, heh but too big a universe for there not to be life out there somewhere.
Nice video. I do believe that not lying is important and the easiest person to whom to lie is yourself. It's good to see that you are keeping yourself on the right path before going after others.
this video is created by the illumaniti to fool us into beleiving that the oppostion is a joke.

Look up videos of Dr. Andy Thompson, that might give you a few clues.
