Materialistic Theory of Phi
Hi, I'm new and haven't been able to figure out how to make a new thread, so I'll just ask my question here.
Are there any materialistic theories as to why the number Phi occurs so often in nature and the cosmos? If not, isn't this irrefutable proof of a creator?

MrJack
The number Phi? Do you mean Pi?>>
No, I mean Phi. I think it's 1.618, etc. It was called the Golden Section by the Greeks and the Divine Proportion during the Rennisance. It appears, as I understand it, a freakishly inexplicable number of times in nature. For instance, if you take the number of male bees and divide it by the number of female bees in any behive anywhere in the world, you get Phi. Phi also outlines the proportions of a pethora of animal life, including ourselves, and is found in the cosmos as well supposedly.
And I can't concieve and haven't heard of any possible materialistic explaination for this.

Re: MrJack
BTW, how in God's name do I graduate from Jr. Member status to full member status so my actions aren't restricted?
