The irrefutable proof of intelligent design

The fundamental question underlying all philosophy is the age old “why are we here” and that’s probably as old as the history of humanity itself. And there are two major worldviews regarding the answer to this--one is the belief that we and everything that we experience around us is the result of spontaneous, purposeless evolutionary impulse of the Universe. The other viewpoint is it’s opposite and tells us that we, as well as the entirety of this physical Universe, is the creation of a higher intelligence and we are all part of a grand cosmic journey.

The former is also widely known as the ‘scientific’ worldview as it makes up literally most of the perspective of modern science. According to it, the Universe as we know it, came from a gigantic explosion and for some inexplicable reason, bursted into a living, physical reality. Also, the Universe is literally endless with an astronomical number of galaxies each having it’s own solar systems full of stars and planets. And it’s not only endless, it’s also ever-expanding and we’re just a momentary speck in this vast cosmos.

The latter worldview, however, states that the Universe is not only the creation of purposeful intelligence, it was also created with us humans in mind. We have a vital role to play in this enormous cosmic game and more than that, we, as well as all living beings, are an essential part of this experience.

Modern Science however, not only supports the purposeless-evolutionary worldview, it also promotes it heavily through the education system. According to Science, the whole of reality is made of matter and even the emptiness of space is not really empty but it’s also filled with a different type of solidity named ‘Dark Matter’. However, what’s remarkable is that none of this, from the Big-Bang to the matter-filled idea of space, is actually based on hard evidence but rather on assumptions that in turn, require other assumptions to hold it together. Of course, no one can experience and verify any of these ideas in any way either.

What’s notable, is that modern science acknowledges that this perspective is only one of many different possibilities and is not in any way, the absolute final truth. Also, there are tons of phenomena that this supposed model cannot explain, such as the placebo effect, non-locality, telepathy and many more.

But the purpose of this article, as the headline suggests, is to let you know the biggest and the greatest living proof of intelligent design--that we, as well as everything around us, is the product of conscious and purposeful intelligence. Really, the truth is at plain sight and it’s everywhere for everyone to see.

And that proof is----You, or the highly intelligent being that is You. Allow me to explain:

To illustrate this as clearly as I can, I’ll be using a very simple analogy that applies to the real world as well. It’s a bit of an oversimplification, but for the purpose of this topic, it works.

Alright, let’s consider Intel’s i7 processor, the current reigning champion in it’s category for a pretty long time (and counting). We all know that the i7 is one of the most powerful pieces of hardware to ever come out and there’s nothing that even comes close to surpassing it in terms of both capability and raw performance. To sum it up real quick, the i7 is a highly intelligent pack of circuitry, and you know it.

But here’s the thing--even with all of that groundbreaking number crunching power and intelligence, there’s one thing that even the mighty i7 can’t do. And what’s that? To bring itself into existence. Which means, the i7 cannot create itself out of thin air or nothingness, it needs a greater intelligence to design and built it from the ground up. Of course, the ‘greater intelligence’ in this case is the scientists and engineers at Intel who are infinitely more intelligent than their creation (the i7), that’s why they were able to envision and fabricate this CPU.

And this is exactly how everything in existence works. Nothing can’t and doesn’t exist all by itself, it needs an intelligence that’s greater than itself to breathe life into it. Just look at the world--the rock came from the Earth, the Earth came from the Universe and the Universe, from pure consciousness or infinite intelligence.

As you can see, in real life, everything needs something else to create/design it. So, how can the humans, who are infinitely more intelligent than the i7, be the result of random, unintelligent design? If the i7 needs a higher intelligence to bring itself into existence, how can a human being exist without an infinitely greater intelligence responsible for it’s origin? In other words, how can your intelligence exist without the workings of a higher intelligence?

Truth is, only intelligence can create intelligence. Intelligence is the result of intelligence, there’s just no way around it.

But of course, if someday, we discover empirical evidence of an ape designing and building an Aeroplane from scratch, then I’ll reconsider intelligent design. But till then, it’s literally impossible to deny what’s supported by real evidence, experience and common sense.
