Isn't there a fundamental flaw in human reasoning
based on the way human reasoning works?
To use a computer analogy, we believe that everything
that seems to be a product of intelligence got here
by "serial
processing"
Consider: Our minds work consciously at ONE THING AT
A TIME - our bodies which support the brain's work
DO MANY THINGS AT ONCE -"parallel processing", if you
will - hormones, body temperature, breathing and
so
forth - all automatically , without conscious intervention. Yet we think that our "one thought at
a time" brain is the zenith of created achievement!
Clearly, the complexity of the body mechanism is
more remarkable in
function.
This bias in human reasoning makes us think God is
a person WHICH CANNOT BE TRUE because you can't run
a universe "one thought at a time" like the way our
brains work.
Therefore, God is a universal, "non-local"
mechanism.
This is why life is so miraculous and yet at the
same time we have liver flukes, lamprey eels, and
mosquitoes. THE DIVINE MECHANISM MADE THEM ALL!
Understanding this error solves the whole evolution
vs creation
dilemma - the Creator isn't a person
and life is not a product of random molecular encounters.
