Intelligence First

PolyHedral

Perhaps one should not ask "which came first?"

Perhaps one should ask "What arose?"

Once intelligence arose the universe becomes intelligent. Perhaps the universe was designed by the intelligence that arose in it! Here's one possible scenario:-

Future scientists design and build a BIg Bang Generator and send it back to the year dot where it creates the big bang. Stars and planets form, evolution arises and the future scientists are born. Time is also created to be manipulated by the scientists. So the future scientists design and build the Big Bang Generator!

The second question after "what arose?" is what the arisen intelligence can do? Surely this should be the starting point?

Silver:foot:
That was a very nice possibility, apart from the fact that there's nothing the Big Bang Generator could possibly be made of. :D

(Personally, I'm of the opinion that God is what happens when you combine time travel technology with post-humanism.)

There are two things in such a Universe: Intelligence and that which the intelligence created out of nothing!
What the intelligence created out of nothing would bring the intelligence into existence, and allow for a means of creating everything out of nothing. It just requires intelligence.
(It's a bit circular but I think it just might work).

The Big Bang Generator is like a highly advanced computer - made out of matter (whatever that is) and when turned on generates the Universe within (perhaps). You take what's within and create the generator/computer. You send it back in time to the year dot and turn it on. You just need intelligence.

The intelligence comes up with a way of achieving the goal - to devise a way of bringing itself into existence. The result leads to the universe we know, evolution and future scientists solving the problem.

The Universe is intelligently designed but by the human intelligence within! (Perhaps).

The Big Bang Generator is made of the same thing the Intelligences (future scientists) are made of.
The intelligences just devised a way of bringing themselves into existence.

Intelligences arose and then worked out a way by which they would arise. That's the problem. Where did the Intelligence come from? They created themselves.

With time travel alot of wierd things becomes possible.
You just got to design in time travel when your designing the system/universe!

So...have we gotten to the point where you people might actually make a choice?

If Chemistry comes first...then you are the sum of your chemistry....
and everything about you will soon be dust.

Or...

Intelligence came first....
And there could be hope of continuance after your last breath.

Choose.

what do you mean "you people"?

You people is only part of the rationalizations he is living for the sole purpose of continuing to speak without hearing.

In the big rock candy mountain... a kids show... they teach you can draw more flies with honey... I don't feel an overwhelming need to point out logically how off Thief is when you would both have to start there and understand he or she seems incapable of hearing or understanding but only interested in preaching and judging.

Anything more complicated or interesting doesn't deserve a rebuttal because it came from you people. And he wants you to make a choice you probably understood as a fallacious argument when your were 9. (Even if the why took longer.) Hmm... I would say its a false dichotomy but that would give too much credit to the presented two choices.

Any of you...all of you....

Back to post #69.

Post 69 is fitting... I'll tell you what mate... you tell me what it is I am trying to explain to you and I will do the same and go back to your stated post and do the same for you. ;)

I most definitely choose dust.

So be it.

Cause if I had to spend all eternity listening to the bull **** you spew, I would go nuts and kill someone.

And for you...escape into the ground might be a favorable option.

You realize that this choice is hopelessly jaundiced and has no significant connection to the reality of facts? Neither option resembles the real world.
