The FSM was invented by neither Mr. Dawkins nor myself. Are you suggesting that I am either a plagiarist or a blind-faith-sheep?
I used the limitation, "personal, supernatural interventionist" to differentiate from other definitions of god that I'm not atheistic about
: like a universal sense of oneness, or the growth power in nature, etc.

You're putting quite a few words in my mouth. I said nothing of the sort.

That is so. And to say that a personal, supernatural interventionist god is the only possible explanation to explain the whys or the beauties is not satisfying to me. Good thing for me: I don't need an explanation; I am simply willing to accept the natural word, with gratitude to nature itself.

Please. We don't need such personal attacks here, do we?

where?= I don't understand the question.
why?= I don't know. If a compelling explanation presents itself to me, with real evidence, I would love to explore it. Meanwhile I'm happy to be here.
