Got to admit I’m a bit tired at hearing this same ole drone from the Atheists’ quarter, namely: religions being the biggest BS, that we were this imperfect evolution and that religions have done more harm than good…
Let’s try and first find some truth … in fact scientists have had this little problem about finding the truth now for a while – yes things just haven’t added up on the scientific front now for the last 100 yrs or so, have they? Albert Einstein showed that the mathematics of light, and its observed constancy of speed, allowed one to make calculations without ever referring to any medium – thus he did not explain how a wave can exist without a medium. From that point on, physicists simply put the question on the far back burner- over the decades physicists have simply gotten used to the idea that light can travel through a vacuum even if there is nothing to wave. The matter was further complicated in the 1920’s when it was shown that objects exhibit exactly the same wave properties as light, and suffer from exactly the same lack of any medium.
One way to resolve this seeming paradox of “waves without medium” is to note that there remains another kind of wave altogether. A wave with which we are all familiar, yet which exists without any medium in the ordinary sense. This is the computer-generated wave…! Remember we are still hunting for some “truth” acknowledging that any theory built on a theory is composed of the same building blocks as that of the “former theory”. Allowing for this scientists have been trying to drill down to the absolute building blocks of matter (CERN – LHC) and they have been finding out that all is not what we think it is – even though the classical universe seems to exist as we perceive it, matter at its core seems to display “digital” qualities and that the “Planck length” corresponds more to a cosmic computer “clockspeed”.
Scientists have literally come to the conclusion that everything suddenly fits and makes sense when our universe and matter is viewed as a computer simulation. The scary thing is that all the quirks in quantum mechanics are solved when this overlaying theory is postulated – even quantum wave reduction in response to conscious observation. The digital simulation theory would simply explain this as a relevant programing response to conscious stimuli. If you think this is absolutely absurd don’t forget that your “brains” in theory are locked deep into your skulls and rely solely on … electrical impulses from your 5 senses for perception. After this realisation sinks in then you have to acknowledge that it is perfectly plausible that you could be existing in a 2D digital /holographic universe masquerading as a 3D classical one.
Now let’s bring this back to “intelligent design” – it seems that the best theory today is that our universe is a well-designed digital simulation which produces the astoundingly beautiful and integrated classical universe that we all live in. A perfectly created design corresponding to all the classical rules, made with much love and care - all for us in the Creator’s image.
Did God then decide to grant us the various religions to finally complete the picture – it would be quite easily done; just a download! If so then could “Heaven” then allow mankind an earned existence within the “perfect program”…?
Whatever the truth is, it seems the Atheists always somehow seem to lose out … but methinks rather than get as deep as we’ve done with the theory above, rather just do what Gods says – be part of the vine and “believe as a child”. But now that’s a bit difficult for the Atheists who would rather back their own derived observations and their accumulated life’s experiences within their own “classical” worlds…
