pantheism - nature is a giant information-processing engine (smart enough to engineer humans) .. no external creator required, and yes we arrogant humans are indeed small and pathetic compared to the whole.

"Pantheism is not personal"
Actually, Pantheism is EXTREMELY personal. It is so personal that it recognizes that not only is everything, or All-that-is "god", but by inclusion each and every one of us are god/aspects of god. We are divine. We are ALL-Powerful, we are entangled with everything that is. There is nothing that we are not part of. We are god. It is a recognition of our own divinity and power and ability to create and destroy and imagine and live and be conscious. Very Personal

If there is no God - or gods - and nothing supernatural or magical in reality, then the Universe itself and its laws, as revealed by science, becomes the Highest Power, something to regard with awe and wondermen. This is the core of scientific pantheism. Some use the word "God" to refer to the Universe, to highlight the distinction, but this is unnecessary. Scientific pantheism is basically just atheism plus reverence for nature.

@walter0bz I used tho think that too not long ago, that humans are small and pathetic compared to the whole but really, no matter how small and insignificant something seems, is it still not part of the whole ? like the small micro-organisms that live within our bodies. Are they any lesser than us ? Does size equal superior or inferior importance ? Or is the interconnectedness of everything within the universe one within itself, all equal within one and nothing ?

I like this but commentator sounds like Darth Vadar. Expecting him to invoke The Force any moment.

nature=random trial&error, sure. By working in parallel for long time it created many things that we can't replicate.
There's a theory about geniuses that their brains just work faster and apply trial/error more combinations. (hence related statements about 'perspiration / inspiration'.
This thinking is important r.e. perceptions of Peak Oil:-
I like to separate what % of recent human achievement is down to fossil-energy vs our minds&our'tech' (..energy=more trial & error)

@walter0bz Nature is not "smart", and it possesses no wish to engineer anything. And humans are neither arrogant nor pathetic by nature. These are your personal values -- not universal ones. I do agree with your main point though; that the universe can be perceived as a giant information-processing device (although I wouldn't use that denomination).

The crisis of the world were caused by economic&national competitions! Did the vaticans lobby oil companies?

Muslims would do well to remove the 'ah' from Allah, and think about what that means.

Oness and Harmony go ALL...I was born and raised on one of the most beautiful and Nature-All islands on Earth and Alaska is just as Sacred...That's a very Strong clip... Simplicity is powerful. That's how all answers are found, through Nature's simplicity/ Natural Levity.

I first thoght this guy was from the movie Home Alone 2. With the talk boy Makalister uses.
I am confused. So pantheists don't believe that God is the universe?

@100jurman well sorry about the confused but i'd say yes, you are confused. i think a pantheist would say there is no supernatural god separate from the natural universe - one way to put that would be to say the universe is god. i don't think that label is necessary. what's important is to understand that since the universe in general and the earth in particular is in fact your one true lord, creator and savior, you should act accordingy.
