Thanks Sender, appreciate the clarifications. I think what concerned me about your comment is that it appeared you assumed it was my intention to talk behind someone’s back and you saw that intention as arising from my theism. I will leave it at that, as I appreciate the conversation with you.

I saw you wrote about mass, energy and information being equivalent and I am very curious about that so will be reading it. I assume in this equivalence you find you can do away with the challenge of new genetic code in new forms of life.

You state that evidence of intent is what is missing and that the universe can be correctly described without it. That, of course, is what the whole debate is about. I am infinitely curious for how you think the universe can be described without it. If it can I agree with theologian Pannenberg when he says that if that is so, of course, the idea of God and all that belief in God entails goes away.

What I see in place of evidence for that statement is “just so” statements — opinions that simply state the conclusion. Maybe your matter-energy-information post will enlighten me.
