Great post. You explained some of my points much better than me, as well as adding others I either forgot to mention or didn't consider.

By the way, I'd like to leave this here for anyone interested who hasn't seen it yet. It's the Penn and Teller's Bullshit show that dealt with this issue, arguing against it. It's somewhat old by now, but I think at least most of it still applies.

I don't necessarily agree with every argument here or the way to express it, but I do of course agree in general. And I believe it can be a good way to get into the discussion and get a general idea of the arguments on both sides.
