The Constraints of Design

Hi dogrelata,I don't have the foggiest idea what IDers believe but I do have some thoughts of my own.I have designed a few things in my lifetime. Houses, interstate exchanges, and thousands of kitchens. I find that my design was only limited by my imagination. I look at the watch on my wrist and it amazes me how it can keep time. I have no understanding of how it works I just know it works.I look at this beautiful universe we live in and it amazes me at how it works. I have no understanding of how it works I just know it works. I know there is much study and speculation of how it works.Science says prior to the existence of the universe at T=10^-43 "we do not know". So anything prior to that is speculation. There are some speculation of how we got from there to here. But the biggest mystery remains to be dark energy and dark matter, along with the genesis particle. Still looking for them.Now to your questions.As far as I am concerned your reference to intelligent designer and it, is the great I AM.1.."what design constraints did the intelligent designer have to work with in formulating its 'grand design'?"Design is limited only by imagination. So there would be no limit.2.."what design knowledge was available to it?"All knowledge.3.."What materials were available to it?"Everything you see and everything you cannot see.4.."Where did these materials come from?"From the warehouse of energy. The universe is here. That is a fact.
According to Hawking the universe did not always exist.
That makes it necessary for the universe to have to come into existence.To me it was created by the great I AM. That is magic to you.
OR
It was created by a scalar field that there is no evidence for. That is magic to me.God Bless,

Hi Ned, Ned there was no restrictions on my design.There were restrictions on my implementation.Most of the time budget was no problem.God Bless.

Hi dogrelata, You want to know what the constraints would be on my God.There is absolutly none.Just as there are no constraints placed on the Higgs field that is used by science to produce our universe.So what is the problem?Is my Creator not allowed the same privilages as your creator?God Bless,

Hi Ned, If I mess this up please correct me.
In the Standard Model, the Higgs field consists of two neutral and two charged component fields. One of those netural fields is the Higgs boson. This particle is massive as the other three fields are massless. In this particle everything in the universe, what we see and what we do not see, was compacted unless Guth is correct that inflation is the perfect free lunch.This would be the same type of particle that Hawking Turok proposed with their instanton.Now if this particle was responsible for everything we see and do not see it had to be all powerful without any limits or constraints to produce what it did.Isn't that exactly what I said my creator did.Your creator seems to be just as elusive as mine does.No one has produced physical evidence of either one yet.That is if you rule out the testimony of those who saw Jesus and His miracles. Like the dead made to live again and His resurrection where He was seen for 40 days after His death burial and resurrection.God Bless,

Hi dogrelata, Would you please point out where I said: “my god is great, it can do anything”Those words are in quotation marks and is attributed to Message 13.If that is what you thought I said say so. But don't put the words in my mouth. Make a correction please.Would you mind answering the question I asked in Message 13? You can call whatever 'it' was that brought the universe into being by any name you desire it does not change the fact that 'it' is the creator.God Bless,

Hi Straggler, But he is tested and judged according to the evidence.An experiment is preformed 107 times per minute worldwide that proves whether God exists or not.The problem is that none of the participants in the experiment can report their findings.It is appointed unto man once to die after that the judgment.At that point all doubt is erased if God exists. If He does not no one will ever know the difference. Then be replaced by a different name as there must be a creator for the universe to come into being. Makes no difference what you call 'it'.God Bless,

Hi bluegenes, I said my creator (God) did not have any restraints on Him.I did not say that He did not place a lot of restraints on the universe. The universe requires constant attention. I think science calls it dark energy, dark matter and gravity.I have a verse of scripture that tells me, all things exist by the creator. He is the energy science is looking for.One day He is going to cause the universe to melt with fervent heat and then He will make a new heaven and a new earth.God Bless,

Hi cavediver, Just to make your day.Now you explained to me how everything came from a smaller than pea sized universe.I asked where did the pea sized universe came from. Your answer was "we don't know".I wasn't satisfied with that answer so I went looking for the answer.I found Hawking Turok instanton was described as a scalar field like the Higgs field.I then looked up the Higgs field, and I found this. HereNow if my understanding is so wrong. Would you please explain so that I can understand?Thanks in advance.God Bless,

Hi cavediver, Instanton = a mathematical equation developed in physics as a method of calculating Feynman's integral.The Instanton I have been referring to is the one proposed by Hawking Turok.Hawking Turok Instanton = a mathematical equation that is a twist in matter and spacetime which has a fleeting existence in time.This instanton does not exist within any thing, there is no before, and there is no outside to it.It is a sort of elementary particle that lasts for an instant.This instanton is the spark that ignites inflationIf you have this instanton, it will instantly turn into an inflating infinite universe.God Bless,

Hi bluegenes, The God of the Bible did create machines. They are called angels and do exactly what they are programed to do. Even Satan did exactly what he was supposed to do. To me most I. D. arguments make less sense that does many of the cosmology and evolutionist arguments.My only argument here is that an entity (be it God or the Instanton or some such particle) that could bring this universe into existence which is some 75 billion light years across and growing by the second could not have any constraints placed upon it.That entity could place constraints on the universe by setting natural laws in place that the universe and everything in it could not break even though they could be bent.And yes there is a purpose but I don't think that would be on topic and I have wavered a little far away in my answer to cavediver.God Bless,
