I am a graduate student in the Psychology Department at San Francisco State University. I am currently seeking volunteers to take my online psychology study titled “Adjusted DRAI Study”. The time commitment will be approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. This study examines the connection between relationships and emotions. One of the questionnaires, the Adjusted Display Rules Assessment Inventory (DRAI), measures the frequency of an individual’s experience and expression of emotion in the context of specific relationships. Participants must be 18 years of age or older. If you are not affiliated with SFSU, and do not have a sona systems number, please enter 00000 when asked for your sona systems number.

I consider myself somewhat of an agnostic. I completely understand why we don’t believe in the gods of certain religions, especially those of Christianity and Islam.
However I’m talking about a general creator of it all, not one affiliated with any man-made religion.
I know this is deism, and that’s actually what I’m talking about.
Even though I don’t believe in the gods of man’s religions I still find it very hard to believe that emotion, consciousness, and the ability to even ponder these things is simply a result of chemical processes in the brain. I can’t help but think that my mind is part of something more than just this nonliving Universe. I myself doubt the notion that I, a conscious, thinking human, am just a product of an accident.
I want the atheist opinion. Can we automatically rule out a creator?
