Divine Design
"Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from faith. If you really study science, it will bring
you closer to God."
-James Tour, Nanoscientist
The astronomical evidence for God must be strong when atheistic physicists admit that "the universe exploded out of nothingness,"
and agnostic astronomers claim that "supernatural forces" were so at work in the beginning that scientists are led back to "a band
of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries" (see chapter 3). But the scientific evidence for God does not end with the
Cosmological Argument. For many, the precision with which the universe exploded into being provides even more persuasive evidence
for the existence of God.
This evidence, technically known as the Teleological Argument, derives its name from the Greek word telos, which means "design." The
Teleological Argument goes like this:
1. Every design had a designer.
2. The universe has highly complex design.
3. Therefore, the universe had a Designer.
Isaac Newton (1642-1727) implicitly confirmed the validity of the Teleological Argument when he marveled at the design of our solar
system. He wrote, "This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an
intelligent and powerful Being."?1? Yet it was William Paley (1743-1805) who made the argument famous by his commonsense assertion
that every watch requires a watchmaker. Imagine you're walking along in the woods and you find a diamond-studded Rolex on the
ground. What do you conclude is the cause of that watch: The wind and the rain? Erosion? Some combination of natural forces? Of
course not! There's absolutely no question in your mind that some intelligent being made that watch, and that some unfortunate
individual must have accidentally dropped it there.
Scientists are now finding that the universe in which we live is like that diamond-studded Rolex, except the universe is even more
precisely designed than the watch. In fact, the universe is specifically tweaked to enable life on earth-a planet with scores of
improbable and interdependent life-supporting conditions that make it a tiny oasis in a vast and hostile universe.
These highly precise and interdependent environmental conditions (which are called "anthropic constants") make up what is known as
the "Anthropic Principle." "Anthropic" comes from a Greek word that means "human" or "man." The Anthropic Principle is just a fancy
title for the mounting evidence that has many scientists believing that the universe is extremely fine-tuned (designed) to support
human life here on earth.
In this vast and hostile universe, we earthlings are much like astronauts who can survive only in the small confines of their
spaceship. Like a spaceship, our earth supports life as it hurls through lifeless space. But also like a spaceship, a slight change
or malfunction in any one of a number of factors-in either the universe or the earth itself-could fatally alter the narrowly defined
environmental conditions we need to survive.
Apollo 13, one of the most challenging and famed missions in the history of NASA, will help drive this point home. We're going spend
the next few pages aboard Apollo 13. And as we do, we'll point out some of the anthropic constants that make our lives possible.

more, dear brother Melchizedek whom I love unconditionally.

Governments are made of people.

What are the evidences that proves

It spend my taxes?

What evidence do you have that you exist?


I think.
My self is just a working hypothesis.


My illusion of self, also.

Before we get to the blame game,
let's finish up the modes of existence.


I have not brought up any blame.

What would you call the mode of existence
of something like your government?


Obscure and tangled, but occasionally useful and often dangerous.
Supposedly defined and limited by the constitution, but always straining
to exceed those bounds.

Paved public roads are a joy when I am on my motorcycle. Private
citizens do not pave public roads. People employed by governments do.
There are state and national parks near here that I enjoy visiting. The
Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the best things the federal government ever
accomplished, with very little but cheap labor in the form of the CCC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps

But, of course, the county, state and federal governments are always
hungry. Especially for power over citizens.

Thank you.
A lovely way of looking at it.
But I am looking for more mundane classification
like existence like a chair, like a number,
like an idea, like laws of nature,
like criminal law, like a family, etc.
Care to come up with some good labels for them?

My working hypothesis for this week is this:
God is our world government in exile.

Exiled in the 'fridge, behind the 6 month old bag of semiliquified
Romaine.


If it's too difficult for you,
you can start with the kingdom of God.

Any idea what it is?

Is your government all powerful?
Do you love your government?


Another dumb fucking question. Do you love your proctologist?
They're both there to do a job for you.

God as the world government in exile is
working hard to take over the world.


You simps have been saying that for 2,000 years, and will still be
saying it 2,000 years from now.

I can't afford to waste time on it.

Hell
Hell is one of those subjects that makes people
uncomfortable. We hear stories of hell being a place of
fire, demons, and endless torment. Throughout history
many authors have written about it, Dante's Inferno
for example. Western culture is very familiar with the
concept. Even Hollywood has made it the subject of many
movies. Whatever the context, whatever the belief, hell
is definitely taught in the Bible. But even the doctrine
of hell is not without its controversy. Some say it is

Mr. Jeckyl,

As I understand it, there was a "big bang" that occurred about 15

I'm

some reference I could go to that explains how this big bang, the start

of

our time and space, could have happened without some form of

intelligence

being behind that event.

There is no big bang in the bible.

Dear Mr. Haskell,
Please reread Genesis 1:1. Sounds exactly like the big bang to me.

Looks like he skipped a few steps.

I'm

assuming you agree also. My question is "what caused this big bang =

to

happen?" I'm not trying to play with the words here. I thought you=

had

some reference I could go to that explains how this big bang, the st=

art

of

our time and space, could have happened without some form of

intelligence

being behind that event.

There is no big bang in the bible.

Dear Mr. Haskell,
Please reread Genesis 1:1. Sounds exactly like the big bang to me.


Gen 1:1 In the beginning god created the heaven and the earth.


Looks like he skipped a few steps.


Could one reasonably expect any better from a book of myth?

I've never had the pleasure to have read it, but The first V=E4in=E4m=F6inen
cycle
from the Kalevala probably has Genesis beaten in spades.

If you looked at the painting and said "that must have been created

by

the
flying purple people eater, because i believe he is reposibile for

all

paintings" .. then you'd have a more preceise analogy for what

theist

claim.

The existence of the universe is not evidence for God creating it,

as

the

universe can exist without God creating it. Just as a painting can

be

painted without the purple people eater doing it.

Very interesting Jeckyl: Could you educate me a little further?


I don't know .. it depends on your willingness t obe educated


Can you please provide me a reference that explains how the universe
created
itself without a creator?


You are playing with words. You deliberately use the word 'created'

because

that implies a 'creator'. You're trying to lure me into a fallacious
argument.


Answer: the universe was not created, it has existed since the

beginning

of

time.


Mr. Jeckyl,
I'm very willing to be educated. I'm trying to understand what you are
saying.
As I understand it, there was a "big bang" that occurred about 15

billion of

our years ago. That's when time and the space as we know it started to
exist. So far, on this issue, both this science and the Bible agree.

I'm

assuming you agree also. My question is "what caused this big bang to
happen?" I'm not trying to play with the words here. I thought you had
some reference I could go to that explains how this big bang, the start

of

our time and space, could have happened without some form of

intelligence

being behind that event.

Dear Mr. Haskell,
Please reread Genesis 1:1. Sounds exactly like the big bang to me.

I see you've still failed to tell us who created your creator.
