Get Real! wrote:Random vs. Design
Consider this simple example with a glass of colored liquid.
I can just pour the liquid from a glass onto the floor and each time it’ll create a different pattern of spillage. It will always be a randomly generated spillage and I’ll most likely never be able to get two identical spillages in this way, no matter how many times I repeat the experiment.
On the other hand, I can take a glass of liquid and hold it just high enough above the floor and only allow it to spill at predetermined intervals, at predetermined quantities, and move my hand back and forth in a predetermined manner, until I form an intended “patterned” spillage.
They are both spillages… one is random and the other intentional and it is very obvious which is which by observing the patterns on the floor.
Similarly, when we observe the cosmos, planets that are visible to us are almost perfect spheres… galaxies are beautiful almost symmetrical shapes, clusters of galaxies also have mesmerizing patterns and needless to mention all the mesmerizing patterns and behavior of life forms on this tiny planet alone.
The design involved in the cosmos is obvious.
Had it just been “energy” as we know it and with no design involved, the universe and each of its contents would’ve probably looked like used bullets... shapeless, asymmetrical, and ugly.
This is explained by the anthropic principle. Had this particular universe (and physics generally considers there to be multiple universes) not developed in a way that was capable of supporting life, we wouldn't be here to know it. Only a universe that has developed in this particular way can be knowable to intelligent life, and that is the reason why it is this way. Apart from that, many of the patterns you describe are accounted for by the basic laws of physics. It's the way matter formed in a rapidly cooling and expanding universe.

We must've met before! Let me guess... Afghanistan 2001 with the Mujaheddin?
