Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tiger" data-source="post: 134005" data-attributes="member: 353">Your reply is less a counter-argument than a reflexive polemic — a kind of rhetorical flailing cloaked in the language of superiority. What’s striking is not your rejection of theism, but the breezy certainty with which you dismiss what you don’t appear to have seriously engaged.Let’s clarify something fundamental: pointing out that we do not fully know why the universe exhibits rational order is not an argument against theistic inference — it is, in fact, a deep philosophical invitation. That the universe is mathematically intelligible to the human mind is not a trivial observation. It is, as Albert Einstein admitted, “a miracle that the universe is comprehensible at all.”This is not a matter of spotting “patterns” and jumping to conclusions, but of confronting the foundational fact that physics — and by extension, all empirical science — presupposes an order that is not itself explained by physics. Why, in a universe allegedly born of chaos, should the structure of spacetime obey precise mathematical relationships? Why does the abstract language of mathematics, developed in the human mind, map so seamlessly onto the external world?You may scoff at such questions, but many of the greatest scientific minds did not. Thinkers like Kurt Gödel, Roger Penrose, and Werner Heisenberg recognised the philosophical depth of these inquiries. Theism, at the very least, offers a coherent ontological ground: that rational order flows from rational source — from Logos.Your own position, by contrast, seems to require that mind arises from matter, reason from randomness, and consciousness from brute unreason — a conceptual chain that, as yet, lacks even the semblance of an adequate explanation.So no, this is not “the stupidest, laziest superstition.” It is an ancient philosophical tradition, intellectually robust enough to sustain millennia of dialogue. If you're going to dismiss it, do so with arguments, not with adolescent sneers.</blockquote>
