Secular media and authors hate the phrase, "Intelligent
Design". It is as if we as human kind won't give a supernatural Being any
credit to our very existence even though we have to shut our ears, eyes and
mouth in the very face of design in every facet and molecule of life around us.
But I believe we are seeing a slow change in this, there is an awakening
happening. Paul Charles William Davies also recognizes this,
“Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth - the
universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of
nature themselves. For 40 years, physicists and cosmologists have been quietly
collecting examples of all too convenient "coincidences" and special
features in the underlying laws of the universe that seem to be necessary in
order for life, and hence conscious beings, to exist. Change any one of them
and the consequences would be lethal. Fred Hoyle, the distinguished
cosmologist, once said it was as if "a super-intellect has monkeyed with
physics"
Coming to the point I want to make is that the greatest MIND
of our time, that of Albert Einstein, also acknowledged the fact that design
shows more than just creation by mere change - even if todays progressives and
enlightened want to have it otherwise.
Einstein said in an essay entitled "The Religiousness
of Science," which you can find in a collection of his essays published in
English under the title "The World As I See It":
"The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal
causation....His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at
the harmony of natural law, which reveals an INTELLIGENCE of such superiority
that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings
is an utterly insignificant reflection. This feeling is the guiding principle
of his life and work, in so far as he succeeds in keeping himself from the
shackles of selfish desire" (Updike 2007: 77)
Please note how Einstein sees the 'harmony of natural law'
and states that this REVEALS: Intelligence. You really have to be blind not to
see this!
Einstein wrote in a 1930 essay, "What I Believe,"
To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is
something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us
only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only,
I am a devoutly religious man (Isaacson 2007: 47).
Maybe Einstein didn't go to church, but He acknowledged his
Creator in contrast to the 'great thinkers' of our postmodern time.
According to this intellectual, there is no space in time
for accidents, even if Hawking wants it so.
The religious inclination lies in the dim consciousness that dwells in
humans that all nature, including the humans in it, is in no way an accidental
game, but a work of lawfulness that there is a fundamental cause of all
existence (Isaacson 2007: 46).
Albert Einstein believed in a "God who reveals Himself in the harmony of all that exists"
(Isaacson 2007: 44)
