Which is that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered, intricate universe, exquisitely finely tuned for corporeal earthly life with its extensive diversity and astounding complexity *, came to be by known (or potentially known), purely natural demonstrable powers, as if it was Divine, without any supreme supernatural intelligence behind the creation, organization and programming. of this universe.
I plan to post more of these, though as with the testimony threads I began to post, I do not have the time and energy or knowledge to respond much at all.
Thanks for posting.
“What turns a mere piece of matter from being mere matter into an animated being? “
Matter is an illusion. We invented the term. All matter is a state of energy.
We never “ touch” matter. Force fields are interacting.
Thanks. Good reference thread.
Laz, per our recent exchange. For the right SCIF. Since everything is connected, anything can be a trailhead.

Thanks for posting this incredible collection of thought-provoking quotations. Much appreciated.
Been there, done that, got the bruises already.

“By Design: Behe, Lennox, and Meyer on the Evidence for a Creator”
They are Michael Behe, John Lennox, and Steven Meyer.
Lennox, the math guy, is my catnip. I watch everything he’s in, on youtube. Here’s one of Lennox with a side of Jordan Peterson:

On its face, that's not altogether unreasonable, but it is no longer simply "life" that plays well with others -- it's inanimate matter, energy states, and laws of physics that now are regarded as so well-adjusted to reality that they seem to have "evolved." Would you say that they could do that? Or that everything just by happenstance started out in perfect working order?
Ditto
Yes, i posted that, but the mystery (not to me) is what does 2,600Ph mean?
Glory to God for what helps.
Yes, but not for a 6 day creation.

That statement is proven by a Bible verse?
You can’t be serious.
‘ Would you say that they could do that? Or that everything just by happenstance started out in perfect working order?’
Perfect working order? Explain.
