Intelligence is evident in the order itself. The simplicity of the Electric Universe versus the BB or gravitational model which is full of nonsense, really nonsense and contradictions, but the simplicity of the EU is beautiful. It is order in a very high degree, from the smallest known thing to the largest and most complex. As far as we know, absolutely everything in our physical world depends on the laws of electricity, because everything, from the atom's components to animals, to weather systems, to solar systems to the universe, is maintained via electricity. The more we look into these things, the more congurence and interdependence we find. It is a beautiful, repetitive pattern, one that does not, could not, happen by mistake or chance.
If we say, "I've got it! Everything came from an atom!" or, "Everything came from a sun!", we still have lost sight of the fact that we have not said where the atom, or where the sun came from. There was a beginning, obviously, and nothing can create itself.
Evolution of all things requires trashing of known physical laws of thermodynamics, plus ignoring the truth of what happens to things when they mutate, or lose information. They degenerate. They may be more adapted to a particular situation, but have not gained any genetic information to do so, just lost some or lost the use of some. Evolution also requires ignoring the facts of symbiosis and those horrid long timetables of millions or billions of earth years that cannot account for sea not being a salt bed, moon not having 28 miles of dust on its surface, all of our petroleum not having seeped completely into the ocean yet, human population not even a small fraction of what it wouid have been if humans were populating the earth since a million years ago, etc. etc, etc, And dino tracks found along with human footprints side by side in the same layer of stone, etc, etc.......
So, the EU with all its developments in the areas of astronomy and geology and biology is really coming along nicely to point out what some have already believed: that the universe has been recently, purposefully, and intelligently designed.
The other question is what or who has this intelligence? Obviously, humans did not create the universe, so we should not conclude that we can obtain that intelligence or ability through a state of higher consciousness or some other feat. We did not do it. We can not do it. We are not it. We can't be it. So Who is it??
Did we humans make up religion to pacify our fear of the unknown, to explain an uncertainty that we hope will be what we want it to be? Did we make up religion based on what we see happening in the sky or otherwise? Or is there a Superior, that Intelligence, that has designed us and our environs, and has purposed it all to go according as planned? Perhaps we had the idea of religion before we saw the images in the sky, and used those as evidences or as props in story-telling, reviewing ideas of religion using what was available and visible.
If there is a Superior Intelligence, what is our relationship with it, and what is it supposed to be?
I think the purpose is communication, first. Our purpose here on the forum is communication. Isn't it great? The best thing in the world is good communication. Even stars communicate. They are also part of the design. And it does take intelligence to communicate intentionally.
