I'm interested in the middle ground Frame seems to be clumsily groping for.
What are those existentialist quotes all about!
The idea of continuous creation interests me (compare and contrast with, for example, the "Darwinian pool table", in which God sets up the universe but then lets it run without interfering) - there's a gay-friendly church in the states which maintains that God hasn't finished speaking the Word yet, that there's more to come.
The idea that convergence suggests some sort of design is very interesting too, although I want to see exactly what Conway says - I suspect Frame may have fallen into ye olde teleological fallacy.
And the question "why is there something rather than nothing" always grabs my brain and bounces it around my skull. :)
ETA: I was right - the full text does makes more sense, particularly of Frame's harsh remarks about Dawkins.
