Bertvan:
Do you think it posssible that there could be no theory which you would
consider an improvement over pure ordinary naturalism?

Bertvan:
Any theory which assumed the laws of nature were part of a complex design
would not contradict the laws of chemistry of physics. Have you figured out
a way to test whether the universe is an accident? Or do you claim you don't
have to test it, because you've already put the burden of proof on everyone
else?
