What is Intelligent Design?

I am an avid evolution advocate. Even when I was deep in my religious phase I was still a strong evolutionist.

This is not the religious part of me that is starting this thread this is the part of me that sometimes is in awe of our universe and world.

I was thinking about how the sun was perfect for life because life is attracted to the warmth and light giving properties of the sun.

So we evolved to make use of the energy source most readily available.

Yet still there is some sort of intelligence there. It does not have to be the intelligence of God it may just be the rudimentary way of nature.

Nature does not have to be devoid of intelligence. Many speculate that nature draws its intelligence from geometry. But how do mere shapes become diversity? How does a round stone floating in space become a planet teaming with life?

Well the answer is gravity. Gravity is a force that science has yet to explain. Scientists theorize about gravity and they certainly do not doubt its existence but there is no equation that proves gravity other than a belief that since we can see the effects of gravity we know it must exist. Think that, one of the most fundamental forces of the physical world we still have no definition for.

In fact you could disbelieve in the existence of gravity and science could not prove you wrong. They could just by the preponderance of evidence make a convincing argument that you were not right.

Just like God. We believe in the forces that would guide this God, wisdom, intelligence, love... But we cannot define this God.

Gravity is a force that existed before life evolved... Did gravity exist before the big bang? What exactly is the nature of gravity? Is gravity part intellect and part force? Is gravity spiritual?

Gravity seems to be attracted to the heavy metal side of the periodic spectrum. Gravity inhabits the world of mass and energy. How light and gravity are connected is mysterious too and how many dimensions are there and what is the purpose of such places?

I tend to think our world could not have been contrived in a more intelligent manner, even though it has all evolved and that matter comes from the big bang. Gravity is still the mystery of it all, opposites and contrasts that over time create symmetry and automation. Where there is mass and matter there is always gravity. Gravity must be on the other side of our dimensional plane and matter is what filters gravity out.

One might think that gravity is part of a much older big bang.

If so then the universe and its foundations were initiated perhaps an unfathomable amount of time ago. To think one first event could have started off billions and billions of years of evolution.

What were the events that created gravity? And what were the events that created these events. It seems we orbit around an ever greater sun than our physical sun. All of time is a cycle. We are either the first of humanity to evolve or we are born into a long family of humanoids spread throughout the universe. What our collective purpose is to communicate to one another. One day it just may be gravity or some other imperceptible theorized particle that enables us to do that.

Before we perceived, invented and facilitated world wide use of computers and the internet we could never have predicted the advent of this technology. The technology turned out to be much more grander than our imagination would have fancied. Science in reality is much more intelligent than even science fiction. With fiction you are not forced to think you just continually invent. But with science you come up against hurdles and obstacles where finding the answer is not simply making up the most interesting answer but actually digging and unraveling the actual way of science. That method and deduction lead to our era's greatest inspiration and discovery.

Many times technology is not what we want but what we instead need. Programs are geared for productivity. Out of known science comes great revelations and thought for future plans.

I wouldn't call putting people on an earth with a moon circling around it and them both circling around a sun, a stupid idea.

This combination of moons, planets and suns may perhaps be the only grouping of factors that would facilitate the evolution of life over millions of years. The fact that this is an evident feature of our universe one might just marvel at the splendor of such an algorithm.

If life requires a moon, earth and sun to evolve then that would make us quite unique being we are the result of this unique feature and having conscious knowledge of our own existence. Here we stand knowing that we exist as products of this wondrous place somehow. We are aware of our planetary uniqueness. We can perceive of the imperceptible chance that we survived over billions of years to one day be living here blogging on the internet together.

Is the number pi intelligent? Is zero intelligent? Is gravity intelligent? Are bacteria and animals intelligent? Is intelligence all that God is?

Is the earth a conscious being capable of intelligence? Can't nature itself embody intelligence considering intelligent life evolved from it? It would seem the physical world would need to be digitized and quantized to nearly an infinity imperceptible whisper of a particle in order to imprint a copy of itself translated into biological life.

How does geometry make dust and how does dust make a living organism?

Bio diversity. Intelligent design does not mean that there is a God it just in its initial inference means that our world is fashioned out of complex and highly quantified particles.

Instead of intelligent design I would say intelligent composition. It is not crude but wondrous and insightful.

Rare earth minerals, the ocean currents, how to grow a tomato or corn, human interaction and civilization a kaleidoscopic of wonder and spectacular array of grandeur. Life full of surprise and challenge.

I would say it was designed intelligently because it was designed naturally. The Earth was not formed before the sun was made. Leaves do not fall from trees before the tree grows them and they have the perchance to die.

Rain does not commonly emerge from the ground and fall up to the sky...

Nature can be intelligent without having to be an affront to prove the validity of some deity.

It is just as contrived to say the universe was created by the wings of a butterfly flapping in the wind, or by a golden egg that was mothered by a turtle, or maybe out of an endless and infinite void enough matter coalesced to form such a curious place.
