Looking at the microbiology, the DNA, the complexity of a living cell,
how can evolutionist not call themselves religous by believing that
cell evolved out of some premordial pond due to chemical revolution.
Not sure WHO created the DNA, but it remains my biggest stumbling block
before BEING ABLE TO DISBELIEF the existence of a Creator. Mr.
Gorbachev believed that Cosmos had a creative consciousness of its own.
I understand this position, that is why Gorbachev and others believe
that Cosmos has it's own Consciousness, just as humans. This is because
we, humans, our bodies are run by physical laws and we possess
consciousness, why can't Cosmos possess it too? This is called
Pantheistic Atheism, I just remembered. But these guys, Gorbachev and
Carl Sagan, who is the most outspoken scientist believing a Pantheism,
do not explain why they have chosen to believe that Cosmos has
consciousness, rather than simply believe in God. I think this is
because they don't have to be "accountable" to Cosmos, but believing in
God makes it accountable [to God]. Both Cosmos and God are so similar.
Cosmos represents survival of the fittest, and so does God if one
doesn't obey him. :) Okay, listen, I have a point coming up. Here, I'll
try to argue against Pantheism and for the existence of God, although
I'd rather want to believe in Cosmos, than God, but I just want to show
that pleshak Gorbachev may be wrong. Look, nobody knows that Cosmos is
eternal. Nobody knows if it has consciousness. But everybody know that
consciousness is a far cry from being able to Create LIFE and WORLDS.
Can you and I create other planets and physical life forms, let alone
some physical object out of thin air, a pencil, for example? The answer
is always No. (Vasiliy here would say "YES!") So, for Cosmos to be the
Creator of a DNA molecule inside the cell, it must first have
consciousness and individuality. C'mon, this is plain nuts! It's a lot
easier (logically) to believe that some God exists out there, OUTSIDE
of Universe, who created life (and perhaps the Universe itself). This
is what ancient Greek philosophers believed. But for the sake of the
argument (Pantheistic), let's assume that Cosmos has required amount of
INDIVIDUALITY, a prerequisite to create something as complex as a DNA.
Well, Cosmos starts to sound like an old-fa****oned God now. But you may
guess right, that Pantheists resent the argument that Cosmos has
individuality (of course), and that Cosmos nevertheless Created us by
creating our DNA. Pantheists don't think that we were created, okay,
but that all millions of combinations between energies inside atoms
came together spontaneously.... that Universe may have been eternal all
along, and finally, the "right" combination of atomic forces required
for life has finally spontaneously emerged. It's hard to argue this
point of view, but the problem remains such that it's not enough to put
together a DNA molecule. Shuttles don't come out of sand.
So this is what I see from the atheists: Universe lacks Consciousness,
Individuality, and Intelligence; "Unconscious" Universe gave rise to
very much conscious humans; DNA molecule and its "life forms" came out
spontaneously out of primordial seas, totally UNDIRECTED; Alek,
atheists don't argue these positions. They BELIEVE in them. But I just
can't get enough guts to believe in shuttles blown by wind out of dust
and human consciousness amidst unconscious "cold" Universe that gave it
rise. Atheism is too presumptuous for me. I don' like atheists when
they begin to paddle at these questions, but I wholeheartedly agree
with them when they begin to discuss "traditional" Bible God set on a
killing spree. It appears that Atheists are cornered to believe what
they believe because they do not have any other choice, not because
atheism is that much "honest." But to believe in God of philosophers,
who is nowhere to be found, who exists apart from the Universe and
creates order in it, it's pretty much like believing in Pantheism with
a little difference that Cosmos's consciousness, individuality, etc..
is that same thing, that God. But how can such "distant" God create
human DNA...? DNA points that whoever created it is a lot "closer" and
"personal" than Pantheistic Atheists and Philosophers think.
