Hi Ed and kerwin. Anyway, is lying topic seems like something that could have its own thread. Whether lying by omission is lying, has nothing to do with the question this thread presents. Please respect this. Thanks.

It also would mean that “right” and “wrong” (good and bad) are not really dependent on God.

Can it be said that “real” psychics only exist when you aren't looking. And if you happen to look in their direction, they vanish. And this vanishing is in fact the real magic?

“No.”But to point to the universe and say: “obviously designed” it seems to be argued that we would have to look at a lot of universes before can truly say that. Or, perhaps stu would say: if you are suggesting that complexity can only be the result of design, then who designed God?
