[quote=Anonymous]Since at least as far back as Euclid, it has been known that logical reasoning begins with certain assumptions.  We all have a model of the universe that surrounds, developed from our experiences since birth (or conception, if you wish).  Some of us, myself included, do not see or feel God as part of that model, while God is at the very center of that model for others.

For me, at least, there is no reason I can give for not believing in God; I can't make myself believe any more than I can make myself six feet tall.  And it appears clear to me that many people find it equally impossible to accept the existence of the universe without God.

The best we can do, IMO, is to accept that those with different viewpoints may be just as honest and intelligent in their views as we are -- that it is a complex universe we live in, that none of us fully comprehends it, and we just have to continue striving and live peacefully and respectfully with those who see it from a different vantage point.[/quote]
