Hi Keith. I have more respect for the position of Deist than that of Theist. I can see it’s appeal. However, don’t forget the Anthropic principle when discussing why the laws of nature appear to be so systematic and ordered. If they were not, we would not exist and therefore could not ask the question. It’s possible there are billions of other universes where the laws would seem completely random to us but whatever beings inhabit those universes are asking exactly the same question. How come our universe is so ordered and designed for us to live in?
