[MD] Dawkins a Materialist (is watching?)

When have I denied that stance? But I know you'd rather have the warm and fuzzy
feeling of "special" over "lucky". The theistic stance in a nutshell. Thanks.

[Platt] 
Not special. Just observant.

Just out of curiosity, why did the "transcendent intelligence" populate the
earth with dinosaurs for millions and millions of years and not people? Did
this "TI" not have an image of "man" yet? When did the "TI" conceive of
creating "man"? Did it always possess this "plan"? Or was it something that it
found along the way? Why was early man "cavemanish"? Couldn't this "TI" create
"man" as we know it right away?

I'm still waiting on your answer as to how such a complexity as a "transcendent
intelligence" could itself exist without a creator/designer of its own.
