A little strange though Healthy Memory, but that religion connected with the God of Abraham, Isaäk and Jacob, not only has proven itself  prophetic, with discernment,  in many people's lives throughout the centuries.

And greatly improved the situation of the great many. The most important being that a great number of men and women and children proved themselves able to fulfill the prophetic in their lives, the person of Yeshua, the Life that GOD created us to and for.

I have quoted somewhere else creation as ‘a three stage rocket: ‘

·         - Adam (we ) is created a living soul (Genesis);

·         - in Yeshua and through the prophets, God's Purpose and God's Plan is fulfilled;

·         - terrestial man becomes a life giving spirit in the Image of its Creator through faith Letter to the Romans 1

        _1 Letter to the Corinthians 15, no longer just a living soul;

What likelihood do you deem that corruptible man shall inherit the universe, and coincidentally the earth, as things stand today, this place given for a pilgrims'journey ?

Or has that universe, in fact and deed, been created to a different purpose than what we can observe today, yesterday and tomorrow, with men warring, persecuting, making light of the truth, not repenting of their very real sins; But what HE desires is this _ Hearts that are turned toward Him. Micah 6: 8. This is what HE has created us for and to. A godly sorrow that bears fruit, not this  'first Adam like'  " you can't see me, you can’t see me,”  free for all.

Anthropic Principle vs. Creationism vs. Intelligent Design

The anthropic principle is a philosophical consideration that observations of the universe must be compatible with the conscious and sapient life that observes the universe. The physical conditions that enabled the creation of the universe are very precise. Absent these conditions there would be no universe for humans to observe much less live in.

The strong anthropic principle (SAP) states that this is the case because the universe is in some sense compelled to eventually have conscious and sapient life emerge within it.

The weak anthropic principle (WAP) states that the universe’s fine tuning is the result of selection bias (survivor bias) in that only in a universe capable of eventually supporting life will there be living beings capable of observing and reflecting on the matter. Most often these arguments draw upon some notion of the multiverse for there to be a statistical population of universes to select from and from which selection (our observation of only this universe, compatible with our life) could occur.

Understand that what is being presented in this post is an enormous simplification of this issue. If interested, go to the Wikipedia and proceed from there.

However, it is hoped that enough has been written to compare the strong anthropic principle (SAP) with creationism and intelligent design.

It seems that creationists could adopt the SAP arguing that God is necessary for these conditions to occur, hence God is the creator of the universe. Although it is unlikely that most physicists would agree with this argument, creationists might argue that the law of parsimony (the simplest explanation is the best) argues for the SAP.

However, proponents of intelligent design could not employ this argument. Previous healthy memory blog posts have pointed to the flaw in intelligent design. Although one can find specific examples of intelligent design within nature, there are many more examples of failed species who died out and did not survive. So to argue for intelligent design one needs to accept a flawed entity or one who needs to learn by doing.

It would be good to teach the two anthropic principles along with creationism and intelligent design. The goal would not be to force students regarding what to believe, but rather to provide information on how science proceeds.

Unfortunately, there are many times when religions make war upon science. This is unfortunate. A religious leader who has an enlightened view of science is the Dalai Lama. He uses science to inform his religion. He sends his priests to seminars and schools to become well versed in science.

The problem with wars between science and religion is that science ultimately wins. The reason for this is that science changes as data and logic indicate. Unfortunately, dogmatic religions ultimately lose and humanity and civilization suffer.

About the Author

Werner Gitt, with a doctorate in engineering, has been a professor at the Federal Physics-Technology Institute in Braunschweig, Germany, since 1971. He has written numerous scientific papers as well as several popular books for the lay reader, and is a guest lecturer on the subject of the “Bible and Science” in Basel, Switzerland.

Information is the cornerstone of life, yet it is something people don't often think about. In his fascinating new book, In the Beginning Was Information, Dr. Werner Gitt helps the reader see how the very presence of information reveals a Designer:

·         Do we take for granted the presence of information that organizes every part of the human body, from hair color to the way internal organs work?

·         What is the origin of all our complicated data?

·         How is it that information in our ordered universe is organized and processed?

Gitt explains the necessity of information - and more importantly, the need for an Organizer and Originator of that information. The huge amount of information present in just a small amount of DNA alone refutes the possibility of a non-intelligent beginning for life. It all points to a Being who not only organizes biological data, but also cares for the creation.
