1.  I strongly suspect that this is true, but since I am not a theist, I
won't assert that I know with absolute certitude that it is true.  However,
my feelings about it come so close to being certitude that you can put me
down for TRUE.

2.  FALSE without a doubt.

3.  Same answer as number 1, so put me down for TRUE

4.  Write a clear, coherent statement and I will answer it.  In the first
place, the first time you used "know," you should have used "believe."  If
you insist on keeping the word "know," then my answer to the whole statement
would have to be FALSE, because if one part of it is false, the whole
statement cannot be true.

5.  What do you mean by "conceived"?  Some do think that they see design in
the universe.  I don't.

6.  FALSE

7.  See my answer to number 1, and then put me down for TRUE.

8.  See my answer to number 1, and then put me down for TRUE.

9.  TRUE.  I  can't tell you how unconcerned I am about it.

10.  See my answer to number 1, and then put me down for TRUE.


When can we expect your answers to Jason's quiz?
