Re: My British Buddy

Bit of a dodgy stat though isn't it. A bit like saying Tokyo's GDP is comparable to a third of the United States.

California & UK's debt's are quite comparable though....

Anyways, it's this kind of daft "mine is bigger than yours" nationalism that vindicates all this spying business.

Not much difference between option #1 and #2

...since any God-like figure has not been proven or disproven. An atheist can accept option #1 and an agnostic could still entertain #2 and not discount #3.

From what limited reading I've seen from the famous physicists of the recent past, none of them discount an existence of a super power.

I originally believed wholeheartedly in #1, but given all the recent theories about the nature of our universe, one including it being a hologram, I think you simply have to tweak your idea of a 'god' and the latter two options don't seem so ridiculous after all............. even after all the knowledge gained from the scientific method up til now. For me the 'guided the process' of the question can simply mean the laws of physics bestowed upon and around us.
