It’s not really a big leap from “everything came from something extremely highly ordered that preexisted everything” to “maybe that thing is or has a Mind”.

  And it's an even smaller jump to go from "maybe that thing is or has a Mind" to "maybe this entity's nick on Hacker News is HexDecOctBin". Thus, you should start worshipping me. But you won't, because you don't actually believe in these small jumps. You want to believe, you try to believe, but you don't. The doubt is there, and it is a healthy doubt (else you would be worshipping me), but it brings you shame.

    that leap of faith would be unreasonable :)

      Somehow, going from "a spontaneous state of low entropy" to "a conscious entity with a mind" wasn't?
