  • His explanation of the emergence of humanity is pure supposition and conjecture. He proves nothing. What hope...thus, how intelligent.

  • I guess im saying your Just as smart.

  • @RossCaleb I know its Great and at the same time hes in everybody just like everybody is in him.

  • I think the human minds tends to interpret and find meaning behind what cannot be truly explained. We find comfort in knowing.. We determine such an order as reoccurring because the broad idea is identical but when looking at emergence as a whole, there is no distinguishable similarity between for example, social order and the Big Bang.. Philosophical? yes but not sound.. However, Terence is still highly intelligent..

  • Doesn't quantum mechanics out date this.??

  • Eh too much fore me to take in... 

  • @yehcnimoigres I think the main idea was that complexity in nature has increased exponentially over time. Basically, nature evolves. The catch is that these evolutionary jumps in complexity are going to happen more and more frequently as time goes on. As for "biological" evolution, the word itself is just a mental crutch for us.. Kinda like how classical physics collapses when quantum mechanics comes into play, but its still convenient. Everything that exists is made of the same "stuff".

  • every experience happens in consciousness and consciousness doesn't really need a creator except itself, and as it happens this "consciousness" springs out of "pure potential" which is highly intelligent nothingness. so if you really think about it the big bang theory stands firm as the moment that consciousness sprung out of pure potential.. an intelligent universe with "pure potential" or "nothingness" as GOD... so we have the big bang, we have god, and we have intelligence. *takes a bow*

  • @zetetic0void true
