Designoid

 




Overheard somewhere on YouTube: 

>>>Machines seem to be simpler versions of what biology can do - why would we create machines and then call the universe a machine, when biological life shows an even more complex and mysterious version of what’s possible… brilliant.

Exactly. It´s not that the universe is a gigantic watch, computer, or whatever. It´s us trying, with varying degrees of success, mimicking the organic or "cosmic" design that´s already out there. So to claim that the universe is "intelligently designed" *in the same sense as our technological contraptions* is problematic even as metaphor, and downright crazy if taken literally.

Therefore God. But not *that* God.
