> Are you really agnostic about the god of theism? Quoting from wikipedia:
"The term theism derives from the Greek theos meaning "god". The term theism was first used by Ralph Cudworth (1617–1688).[5] In Cudworth's definition, they are "strictly and properly called Theists, who affirm, that a perfectly conscious understanding being, or mind, existing of itself from eternity, was the cause of all other things".[6] Atheism is commonly understood as rejection of theism in the broadest sense of theism, i.e. the rejection of belief in a god or gods.[7] The claim that the existence of any deity is unknown or unknowable is agnosticism.[8][9]" I would say that, under these definitions, the correct scientific stance is to be agnostic. In this mailing list, we have seen hypothesis about such a mind that do not require man-in-the-sky, creationism or other absurdities, nor conflict with current scientific models. Are they correct? I don't know, so...
