...is nobody else's god. I think many atheists are comfortable with the idea that there might be a creator force that set up the rules of the universe and threw down the laws, processes, and maybe thereby set in place the seeds of life.
But I don't see many religious people jumping on board this particular wagon. I might be nitpicking, but the difference between Kauffman's stance and Dawkins' is miniscule when compared to the difference between Kauffman's stance and that of any religious proponent or Intelligent Design backer.
I hope we can find our way to a global ethic, beyond just the love of family, a sense of fairness, and a belief in democracy and free markets.
Really? Beyond all that? Because I'd be pretty happy if the majority of the planet could agree to that much. The world would be a lot better for it.
