Indeed. Perhaps even miraculous.
Excellent ... :clapyeah, or even more impressive, perhaps not.
Fortunately enough , I am a medical student , I have studied Physiology , Anatomy , Histology and biochemistry....And i know that what I saw there was not only a design....but a miracuolous one....IF you are not able to explain that Design through Atheism...You can just Say : I Don't Know instead of denying it
The fall of Darwinism? I've heard of many groups trying to discount it, usually by illogical and irrational means. Also, do you mean Darwinism, or do you mean Evolution? There is no "fall" of either. There is also no rise of ID. Those same people are trying to force it on people, but it's not working. It's just a not-so-novel attempt to replace science with religion.Haven't you heard of the fall of Darwinism and the rise of the Intelligent design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ?
I have the same sense of wonder when I look at the shape of a river, its eddies and its undulations as I do when I look at the human body.Fortunately enough , I am a medical student , I have studied Physiology , Anatomy , Histology and biochemistry....And i know that what I saw there was not only a design....but a miracuolous one....IF you are not able to explain that Design through Atheism...You can just Say : I Don't Know instead of denying it
Rumours of evolution's death have been greatly exaggerated.Haven't you heard of the fall of Darwinism and the rise of the Intelligent design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ?
Is it possible that this universal Energy is somehow designed to ensure the existance and welfare of Humans according to the Anthropic principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ?
fact & inference..., evolution is fact, as much as a hard science as physics or chemistry.
... just like physics and chemistry. I'd be hard-pressed to think of a branch of physics that isn't steeped in inference.fact & inference
And the good scientist understands which is which.... just like physics and chemistry. I'd be hard-pressed to think of a branch of physics that isn't steeped in inference.
As a medical student you should know better. Science, especially the ones you've listed, provides all the details we need to say that design is superfluous.Fortunately enough , I am a medical student , I have studied Physiology , Anatomy , Histology and biochemistry....And i know that what I saw there was not only a design....but a miracuolous one....IF you are not able to explain that Design through Atheism...You can just Say : I Don't Know instead of denying it

Trey of Diamonds said:Religion is merely mankind sensing these energies and trying to conceptualize them.
Communication I'm not sure of. If the energy is self aware and has what we would call intelligence, would the ramblings of human beings make sense to it?
What you are calling life is limiting. You are saying that a bear is life and a mountain is not but is that true. It meets our definitions of life but could the universe use different definitions?

We don't usually hear people attribute the shape of a waterfall and its downstream stilling basing to the direct hand of God, because we can see with our own eyes how its shape is the natural creation of erosion by the flow of water.
I see the same sort of thing in evolution: the processes involved take much longer and they're much more subtle, but they're still there and apparent for anyone who cares to look.
I don't see any more reason to assume that God purposely designed some feature of anatomy than I do to assume that Niagara Gorge was dug by a team of angels with shovels.

the strong anthropic principle says that our universe was designed or fine-tuned with us in mind. It's unsupported, unmeasurable conjecture, and is not a scientific conclusion; it's not even a scientific hypothesis.

I understand it's unmeasurable...It's just a conclusion made by observation...the strong anthropic principle says that our universe was designed or fine-tuned with us in mind. It's unsupported, unmeasurable conjecture, and is not a scientific conclusion; it's not even a scientific hypothesis.
but what about the design of our minds ? if our minds can create designs and patterns out of the chaos ,then sure they have their own design ,at the first place ,What do you think ?
If you lived in a muslim community ,you will hear people attributing every Beauty and design to God ,certain mechanisms may occur ,we agree on that...but what we disagree upon is wether or not those mechanisms are random ,or meant to be
You saw design there because there is design, but as a medical student you should have been taught that it is not an intelligent design but one that has been encoded within our genetic blueprint via eons of selective pressure.Fortunately enough , I am a medical student , I have studied Physiology , Anatomy , Histology and biochemistry....And i know that what I saw there was not only a design....but a miracuolous one....IF you are not able to explain that Design through Atheism...You can just Say : I Don't Know instead of denying it
maro:
Is your question, how does an atheist account for the complexity of the universe, including life?
I would like only yo make one correction here... For me , God is not part of the universe...So ,my religion is certainly not conceptualizing the positive energy of the universe as God....God ,for me , is a higher wise being "outside" the universe...The universe is just his creation...his master piece by which he wanted to be known...I believe my mind is not qualified to realize what God is...I can only know him through the universe...And through my heart...
Who knows ? ..i ,myself , don't think praying is something bad to experience even for an atheist or an agonistic....It might be a fruitful experience ,though...
Why not just stick to our definitions , untill we can figure out another deeper definitions ?
