Without anisotropy we could not exist; without isotropy we cannot survive.And yes, it certainly should cause people to recognize "Divine Providence" - i.e. that God is the Creator.
QUESTION: how can one explain (mathematically or otherwise) that both isotropy and anisotropy coexist in our universe -- without invoking an external "Cause"?I don't see how they can explain it away. It would be interesting to watch and I'm pinging a few from a thread about atheism to solicit their response to the challenge, if they have a response.
I do not identify as an atheist, but regardless, I don't understand the value of this argument. It seems as though you've chosen a phenomenon that you don't think science will ever be able to explain and said, "See? That means God must have done it." But what do you do if science does explain it? What if there turns out to be a perfectly reasonable, all-nature explanation for the existence of both isotropy and anisotropy? What does that do to your confidence in Divine Providence? Why make God dependent on what we understand and don't understand about how His universe works?
By His own choice, there will be no logical proofs or empirical tests to "find" Him.
Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: - I Cor 1:19-22
Nevertheless, we can observe and be amazed at His creation and see His hand in everything!
Others may be in awe of God by seeing a newborn child, a cathedral, a mountain range, a glimpse of deep space, hearing certain sounds and so on.
God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. I've known Him for a half century and counting.
Indeed, I know Him better than I know my older brother. No one doubts me when I tell them about my older brother, but yet some doubt me when I tell them about God. LOLOL! Go figure...
