My structure of why I think what I think.

Read your entire post. Thought it was great, seems like you worked hard on it. I'm gonna miss this.

As a result of all of this, I see divine intervention as my only possible basis for believing in science. If there was no divinity before and during existence, then the probability of order, or existence, would be low. Because of a belief in Divine intervention, I can have a belief in Science. I have faith, not knowledge, that this is a rational universe on laws, becuase of a rational divinity.

That's fine if that's what you believe.

For the sake of discussion, however, where is the reason to believe in rational divinity? Why can it not be left at "chance"? Saying things happened through chance is the same as saying things happened for no reason whatsoever. And there is nothing wrong with that. Maybe that is god.

There is no reason to believe in a divine order, that logic and reason somehow existed before everything else. The illogical, chaotic infinite, on the other hand, seems like the perfect mother to give birth to the logical, ordered finite.

And that's what I believe start's it all. That's what I believe God to be. The illogical, chaotic infinite.
