same data, different conclusions

one of my teachers said that people have the same data, they just form different conclusions about them.

in the same talk, he denounced the concept of intelligent design (and subsequently, the notion of God) because of the random accidents that (he thinks) led to our current existence.

interestingly, he was saying many things that showed that even if he didn't believe in God, he was quite open to the possibility --- but maybe in such a subtle way that he didn't even recognize it.


like he said so himself: same data, different conclusions.


during the same talk i drew this: (i was inspired by what a classmate in a Bible leadership class said about what we see around us and the speculations --- and yup, conclusions --- we draw from what we see):



such a cute drawing (if i do say so myself!) ... anyway, so simple yet i hope succinct.
