Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I notice that some off-topic messages I posted earlier today were deleted. Good work! That is what moderators should do! Chittaranjan, I don't want to rain on your beautiful essay regarding Ishwara. You basic spiritual vision regarding entropy was quite correct: if you put a lot of gears and springs in a box and shake, they will not turn into a clock. That much is correct. I just can't resist pointing out a pedantic detail. According to current physics, entropy DOES apply to the world, notwithstanding its marvelous structures. Entropy is simply saying that in order to construct these structures, energy is required, and some of that energy is lost forever as heat. EVENTUALLY, entropy means that the universe will grind into chaos, but the current appearance of wonderful structures is not a violation of entropy, according to the narrow technical definition. Nevertheless, your spiritual vision is correct. The evidence of intelligence everywhere in the world is undeniable. Now many physicists and philosophers would criticize me for making THAT statement! :-) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
