Evidence God Is

[osgart]

What do you mean, then, by "intelligence"?

That mental work went into its programming and operation. Objectives and functions are carried out. My intuition says there is reasoning in the makings. Maybe its all adapting on the fly, or it was preprogrammed to adapt.

I cant yet see it being totally haphazard

Animals know themselves where did that come from?We are apes and I know myself. We are animal.[

Animals are very intelligent.

I don't know if the Vedas really teach a lasting cycle of rebirth, or if they mention just 1 cycle of rebirth.

Conclusions? I have read the Quran, Gospel and Tora, and they are inspired by the same God, the one and only God, YHVH, your God and my God, our God, the God of all. I read the Books themselves, and i am learning their original language.

You questioned if the design of the universe pointed to the 'Christian' God. My answer is, there is only one God, and He is the Author of both the Quran, Gospel and the Tora.

My only question is, what about the Vedas, it can't be that Hinduism doesn't have an Inspired Book received from God? God send Messengers to different Nations. Every Nation has it's Messenger. But i have to learn Sanskrit before i can read the original Vedas. I am not going to base my understanding of the Vedas on translations, and i am avoiding the denominations of course.

I can't speak for the Vedas. Hindus believe in reincarnation (union with god loosely translated). Rebirth is non attachment. Loosely translated.

Ive never been a sacred book person. How did you come to know those books are from god?

Any book can speak for itself; so, it must go beyond talking about itself.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1

According to the Bible, Jehovah Designed All Things
Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God. Hebrews 3:4

What is design?

Spoiler: Design

Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction. Design has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines [*]). In some cases, the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to use design thinking.

Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic, and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, products, skyscrapers, corporate identities, business processes, and even methods or processes of designing.

Thus "design" may be a substantive referring to a categorical abstraction of a created thing or things (the design of something), or a verb for the process of creation as is made clear by grammatical context.

Definitions
More formally design has been defined as follows:

(noun) a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints; (verb, transitive) to create a design, in an environment (where the designer operates)

Another definition for design is "a roadmap or a strategic approach for someone to achieve a unique expectation. It defines the specifications, plans, parameters, costs, activities, processes and how and what to do within legal, political, social, environmental, safety and economic constraints in achieving that objective."

Here, a "specification" can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product, and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed.

The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas usually specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a textile designer, fashion designer, product designer, concept designer, web designer or interior designer). A designer's sequence of activities is called a design process while the scientific study of design is called design science.

Another definition of design is planning to manufacture an object, system, component or structure. Thus the word "design" can be used as a noun or a verb. In a broader sense, design is an applied art and engineering that integrates with technology.

While the definition of design is fairly broad, design has a myriad of specifications that professionals utilize in their fields.

Major examples of design are architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns.

The subject combines disciplines from within these domains, such as biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular biology, molecular engineering, systems biology, membrane science, biophysics, chemical and biological engineering, electrical and computer engineering, control engineering and evolutionary biology. Synthetic biology applies these disciplines to build artificial biological systems for research, engineering and medical applications.


There are building blocks assembled according to "blueprints".

Spoiler: Design

I see numerous patterns in nature, but absolutely zero evidence that any of it was intelligently designed. In fact, if someone did design nature they often did not do so intelligently.

 

[sealchan]

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1

. . . .

The way our body functions, gives evidence of purposeful design.
There are specification of a finished product, and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed.
There are building blocks assembled according to "blueprints".

What would natural, non-intelligent design look like? Or is everything intelligently designed?

[Jose Fly]

Isaiah 11:9 says, "...the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah..."
"Will be", implying it isn't, now.

Do you understand that? Do you know why it's not happening now? Meditating on and studying Genesis 3 explains the reason.

No, sorry...that makes no sense to me.

Yes, it is designed. Originally it posed no danger for humans.

As you can see, the life cycle that specifically allows it to infect and kill humans is extremely complex. If that complexity wasn't "designed" by God, how then did it come to be?

 

[Unveiled Artist]

Okay good. What is design?

What do you mean?

There is none in and of itself, only what humans (our brains) put together; thats a fact.

How is there a designer outside your conclusion based on "there is creation so there must be a designer"?

Take our neorons and how they create thoughts signals and emotions. Is it a pattern? Humans think so. What about seizures? In other illnesses, cancer? What about the mind, body, and brain going out of its patter (if you like) to create something totally outside what we think is the natural order?

Years ago, I was inpatient in the hospital with EEG wires on my head. The doctor told me seizures happen on its own. The body goes in and out of seizures. Thats just how the brain works.

But we see a pattern that neurons are supposed to act like X and when they act like Y once in a blue moon, its adnormal and becomes a condition.

There are many spontenous activities outside of our norm that is perfect normal to nature.

A designer would have had to create nature haphazard for it to make some sense in context. If a designer is expected to create a perfect design, thats not how nature works.

The other example is about the letters and the brain. If we are given mixed up letters are brains try to make sense of it by connecting the dots. Its natural for us to find connection where there is no connection there.

That is natural, but a designer? A deity? That is a bit far fetched. What I believe there is no origin and there is no termination. Everything is shifting and changing. Stars create and explode. Humans turn to ash not disappear. Its the cycle of life not a linear equation.

So there is no creator. If I defined god it would be how my signature defines it. Because it is an It.

How did you draw a conclusion that a deity or however defined created everything?

I understand teh concept creation needs a creator but how did you draw the conclusion that this creator is a deity? that it does things for you? It interacts? Its biblical and not say Pagan or Indian view?

Did you trust what you read in the bible or does it go beyond that?

 

[leroy]

No method. It is what it is. We draw conclusions on how, but unless we made it ourselves, its always a mystery. Some make it sacred, others dont. Depends.

Are you saying that there is no objective method to detect desing? Is there any one one can objectively conclude that “something was design” even if we don’t see the designer?

 

[Unveiled Artist]

Are you saying that there is no objective method to detect desing? Is there any one one can objectively conclude that “something was design” even if we don’t see the designer?

Of course. We can observe what we figure is a design but what about those things that go off course? Things we could not predict? The weather is a big example.

If I saw life as a design, Id be taking life for granted. In my ongoing experiences, there is no design. There is no fixed pattern that, when broken, becomes adnormal. People develop illnesses for no reason. Its what the body does by causes and affects. Its a cycle.

Whatever has an affect has a cause. So there is no origin; no designer; nothing like that. Unless the designer is creation, as being spirit not human, I cant make sense of it.

We are a species of apes and apes can talk.

0:30 - 0:40

Animals know themselves where did that come from?We are apes and I know myself. We are animal.

We?
Listen to the narrator again... 0:30 - 0:40.

No one is saying that animals don't have intelligence.
I truly admire, and marvel at the intelligence of animals, but do you believe that they have the consciousness that humans do?
For example, do you think they are concerned about questions such as, "Why are we here? Where are we going? What happens if we die? Can we live again?" ... and other questions of that nature?
That's what I think the video you had a problem with, was saying.

 

[leroy]

. We, as people, see patterns in things. .

sure
Sometimes our brains invent patterns, but there are objective ways to determine If a pattern is real or illusory.

I mean, people are still studying trying to find an innate god gene

That by itself is evidence for God.

Why would “naturalistic evolution” create brains that wonder about the existence of God, the meaning of life, the origin of the universe and other selectively useless stuff? Evolution in theory would be grate in produce brains that are very good in surviving, but why would evolution create brains that care about deep philosophical stuff.

 

[Unveiled Artist]

Hm.

sure
Sometimes our brains invent patterns, but there are objective ways to determine If a pattern is real or illusory.

We dont inevent on purpose, though. Its what our brains do to survive.

They are illusory. I have a TedTalk video on this fact if youre interested.

That by itself is evidence for God.

How so?

Its just a theory that people are hoping to find god in a godless world. Grapping at straws for objective evidence than subjective conclusions; which, there is nothing wrong with.

Why would “naturalistic evolution” create brains that wonder about the existence of God, the meaning of life, the origin of the universe and other selectively useless stuff? Evolution in theory would be grate in produce brains that are very good in surviving, but why would evolution create brains that care about deep philosophical stuff.

It isnt innate. A lot of us have never wondered about it because we were not around people who do. Majority doesnt make god-feelings innate.

I only came about the meaning of life since I was on RF. I never questioned it until I started looking at my values and how I personally define my life. Then I realize the lesson of death when my aunt passed away this year and my grandmother not too long ago. Other experiences made me came to the conclusion there is no life after death; there is no supernatural soul.

What you are saying is drawing conclusions based on your need to find purpose whether suconsciously and/or not. That is fine but not everyone thinks that way.

It is literally what it is. Its up to us to make sense out of it.

What would you do if you found out you had no purpose and there was no design? Honestly?

That's understandable.
A pattern can be a design, either deliberate or not.
It may be formed by something designed.
For example, a caterpillar - the machine, I mean - was designed, and the tracks it leaves on a surface (e.g. sand), form a pattern, but not from a designer.

Design however, is not a pattern. It may follow a pattern though, or form patterns.

[osgart]

Thats presumptious conjecture to say there is none intelligence involved in the makings of life. Its a philosophical position. Whatever did decide that nature followed your rulebook of conclusions people?

There is indeed a mark of intelligence left in our genetic code as evident by how the numeric and semantic message of 037 appears in our genetic code. Each codon relates to 3 other particular codons having the same particular type of initial nucleobase and sequential nucleobase subsequently then followed by a different ending nucleobase. Half of these 4 set of codon groups ( whole family codons ) each code for the same particular amino acid. The other half of those 4 set of codon groups ( split codons ) don't code for the same amino acid. So then, in the case of whole family codons, there are 37 amino acid peptide chain nucleons for each relevant nucleobase determinant of how a particular amino acid gets coded. Start codons express 0 at the beginning of 37 Hence, the meaningful numeric and semantic message of 037 gets unambiguously and factually conveyed to us descendants of our cosmic ancestor(s) with our genetic code invented by a superior intelligence beyond that of anybody presently bound to Earth.

What would natural, non-intelligent design look like? Or is everything intelligently designed?

natural, non-intelligent design.... natural, non-intelligent design....
In order to understand this, I had to take out non-intelligent. So what is natural design?
First, I think, one has to ask the question what is design, then ask the question, can design occur naturally?
What are your thoughts?

What do you mean?

There is none in and of itself, only what humans (our brains) put together; thats a fact.

How is there a designer outside your conclusion based on "there is creation so there must be a designer"?

Neurons don't create thoughts.
Think of neurons as a conveyor belt. It passes information from one point to another.

The neurons are components of the complex "machine" - the brain.
If you remove the neurons from the brain, you have removed a central function, and drastically interfered with the design.
Patterns are created or followed, but they are not the design, even though they can be part of it.

For example, a sewing machine can be used to create patterns. You can also use patterns to guide the operation, but the design functions independently, because it was designed specifically to reach a particular goal.

Years ago, I was inpatient in the hospital with EEG wires on my head. The doctor told me seizures happen on its own. The body goes in and out of seizures. Thats just how the brain works.

But we see a pattern that neurons are supposed to act like X and when they act like Y once in a blue moon, its adnormal and becomes a condition.

Why do you think the doctor is right, and why do you believe this...

There are many spontenous activities outside of our norm that is perfect normal to nature.

Why do we die? Why is death a natural or normal occurrence?
I believe what the Bible says about these things, because to me they fit the arteries and veins of truth running through the Bible. That's me. I don't expect it to be you.
So why we are on this again when we have been through it numerous times, beats me.
Can you give me an explanation for that?
