Then it's good to have both eyes on one side of your head.

Re: Harmony, Symmetry, Proportion
quote:
How could random events (or elements) produce harmony, symmetry, and proportion, PER SE?
...um, physics?
quote:
True, propagations and rebirths (micro-ToE events) should aide somewhat in maintaining these excellencies
Please define "micro-ToE event."
Please define "excellencies".
quote:
on biological levels as per your ToE speculators.
But speaking PER SE on cosmic excellencies of symmetry, harmony, and proportion does beg (strongly infer) awesome design (ID) to be sure, so that it seems pointless to argue the matter.
So, your argument boild down to, "It's really impressive to me, so Godidit!"
quote:
Most of us infer that a potter fashions the pottery, an artist the painting, etc.
That's because we all can see, touch, and hear potters and painters.
quote:
How much more might I (we) infer an excellent universe, quantum chemical science, life-form, and/or person to be directly fashioned by an awesome Maker.
You tell us.
quote:
Albeit doubts and fears must always taunt me (us) in this matter. A real curse of sin and blindness in my (our) mind(s) which repeatedly refuses to acknowledge the glorious truth of cosmic design.
So, Philip, how do we tell the difference between an Intelligently Designed system and a natural one which we
1) do not currently understand but may in the future, and/or
2) do not have the intelligence to ever understand?
