Thanks very much, Paul.<br><br>
This certainly places our discussion in a far more articulate vein. It's
great to see this type of discussion still going on. I hope to spend much
more time with it.<br><br>

<dd>The Ground of Being that WAS before the big bang, and the
Evolutionary Impulse (Becoming) that started the big bang, is what we've
called God. (This I've gleaned from Andrew Cohen.) I agree it is all
intelligent, but our tiny brains cannot begin to understand it. IT is the
All, in the phrases, "All that is, is good." and "I am One
with All That Is." Science is about grappling to understand it. Good
scientists are usually in awe of what they're discovering. What else
would keep someone looking in a microscope all day every day for years,
or whatever laborious process is required in their discipline? Scientists
like Bryan Swimme and men of faith like Thomas Berry sometimes
collaborate to come up with inspired works, like The Universe Story.
</i></b>This is all just my humble opinion, as is the belief that the
church, the cutting edge today, is the evolutionary spirituality
movement. Jean Houston is a recognized leader of it and almost invariably
ends her internet sessions with "These are the times, we are the
people."<br>

<dd>As to the "Grand Design", it is the contention of some that
the creative process, that which underlies all, is inherently intelligent
and that intelligence can be understood.<br><br>
