Finger Pointing At The Moon Department
I don't often talk about religious, metaphysical or philosophical matters. My contemplations in these arenas are elusive things, and words are a poor and coarse net in which to attempt to snare them.
On rare occasion, however, I encounter something that drives me, however briefly, to attempt to communicate something of my opinions.
There is nothing I consider greater evidence for the existence of a benevolent divinity than a reminder of just how amazingly, elegantly miraculous the laws of nature that govern existence are.
I understand neither the fundamentalist religionists, nor the fundamentalist atheists; the more I learn about the world, the more deeply I understand the principles that govern it, the more keenly aware I become of the Divine.
How is a Supernatural Entity assembling each individual creature in a static, unchanging world more inspiring or miraculous than a cosmos where such things spontaneously arise from the very nature of information itself?
How can you not see the Hand of God in evolution, when He has granted us the privilege of watching his fingers mold the clay of reality itself?
Emergence reflects Immanence.
