And here I see[evidences of a deity] everywhere. New babies radiate light. A factory contained in a single leaf. The utter impossibility of making music.

Your poetic musings, though lovely, certainly don't point to a deity of any sort. Not to be too picky, but if your baby is radiating light, you may want to get thee to a doctor. Please elaborate on this "factory contained in a single leaf." I can make music and I have no musical talent... it's decidedly not impossible.

I suppose you have to believe first, and see later.

Exactly. You will get no argument here, nor from any so-called atheist. I (and others who err on the side of science and rational thought) don't "believe" until we "see." That's how it works, whereas supernatural faith is more in line with your statement... which I have NO problem with, and I thank you for pointing it out.

But poetry itself points at an intellect which has no rational necessity. Sarcasm does likewise.
