Bertvan: I don't have "anything against" an accidental universe; I merely think the
evidence and common sense indicate it is not accidental--that it is the
result of very complex designs.

Common sense is not a very reliable indicator. As far as the evidence is concerned, what do you believe shows evidence of a complex design that could not have been 'accidental'?

Bert: If "design" is ever accepted as a POSSIBILITY
(unprovable, perhaps), I personally will probably lose interest in this
debate.

But how can one accept something in science that does not contribute anything to it?
