Following up on my comment above, just to jog your memory:
Under “Discussion of Big Science Today” (Discussion of Big Science Today, by an Important Member of the National Association of Scholars - #571 by Eddie), comment 566, John Harshman asked:
“Isn’t the existence of an omnipotent, transcendent intelligence that cares about life on earth also an extraordinary claim?”
To which I replied (comment 572):
"But to come back to your question, I think it would be good to have the answer of @Mercer. He has said several times that he is a Christian, which means that he believes in:
“‘the existence of an omnipotent, transcendent intelligence that cares about life on earth.’
“Since he is a Christian, he must have found some way to justify belief in what you call an “extraordinary” claim. But oddly, he has never presented his case for God during all the time he has spent on two sites run by Christians: BioLogos and Peaceful Science. I find that odd.”
Note that this question was asked politely. It was not answered.
