I’d like to answer, if I can find time, but it would probably end up as a fairly long discussion and perhaps you would ultimately find it disappointing. I don’t have any well developed argument thread which starts with premises everyone will accept and ends with “therefore, the divine is real. QED.”. I mostly have a lot of meta-arguments and some criticism of the ways the relevant problems are typically approached.
During the last couple of days I have become progressively more convinced that my daughter is autistic (she is 17 months old and is showing regression in language and imitation skills), a situation that calls for immediate and sustained attention. This will sharply limit the time and energy I spend on philosophical speculation, in particular LessWrong.
I regret that I likely won’t have the resources to engage in what would probably have been an interesting discussion.
Edit six weeks later: Though there is still some cause for concern, the situation is looking a lot better now. I suppose no-one is watching this thread anymore but maybe some other time.

I would be interested in these if you find the time.
I appreciate your interest.
