And of course there are no higher beings, spirit guides etc
I find it hard to believe there is no design (not sure about the designer) and that it's all happened by chance but the likes of Dawkins seem to argue their case persuasively. I haven't read his books, I suspect I would find it too depressing.
My gut feeling is we are all desperately searching for meanings and seeing faces in clouds etc when there is nothing there.

From what I have read, it seems quite easy to argue both sides. Rupert Sheldrake's The Science Delusion counteracts Dawkins. Sheldrake is an eminent scientist and just as knowledgeable as Dawkins yet takes an opposing view. Who is right? Who knows?
