Hello.

I stumbled upon your page by accident.  Although I was not impressed

with your aims, I figured there was no point in emailing you, as you are

surely an unshakeable convert to your own cause.

After reading your "Simplicity of Existence" in a drop-jawed,

unable-to-look-away miasma of incredulity, however, I changed my mind.

You may be an atheist, but you sure as hell have a religion if you

believe that mess of an essay that you wrote.  Aside from seeming

written by a 12 year old who got his hands on a high school physics text

book, its axioms and postulates--and its tangled mix of logic and

conjecture--are far less convincing than those of any established

religion.

Let's face it, sir, you've pulled this "Simplicity of Existence" out of

your butt.  In an attempt to refute the existence of God, you have

created your own haphazard version of physics.  This is fine; the

problem comes when this creation of your butt, being a physical theory,

has to conform to events in the actual physical world.  In trying to

explain physical phenomena, you'll end up inventing new rules or axioms

until you're trapped in a morass of concepts of your own creation.

You've taken ontology back to the air/wind/water/fire days--and we know

that can't be right, because people believed it OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS

AGO!

Well, I guess I've had my rant.  You need to read a lot of books and

stop making web pages.  If you read great philosophical, metaphysical,

and religious works, I guarantee you you will be much humbler and better

off for the effort.

As for religion, you greedily discount God and religion; have you ever

read anything on the subject?  Christianity, for one, turns out to be

remarkably consistent--even logical--when viewed in its totality.  Like

most religions, it just starts with different axioms. But seeing it this

way takes a significant amount of study, and you are probably not

willing to invest the time.

Regards,

Mark W*****

P.S. Remember that I waste my time writing this not out of anger, but
