Intelligent Design and the Universe - Messianic Literary Corner

Dr.  Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist at the City College of New York  (CUNY) and co-founder of String Field Theory, says theoretical particles  known as “primitive semi-radius tachyons” are physical evidence that  the universe was created by a higher intelligence. After  analyzing the behavior of these sub-atomic particles - which  can move  faster than the speed of light and have the ability to  “unstick” space  and matter – using technology created in 2005, Kaku concluded that the  universe is a “Matrix” governed by laws and principles that could only  have been designed by an intelligent being.   “I  have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an  intelligence. Believe me, everything that we call chance today won’t   make sense anymore,” Kaku said, according to an article published in  the Geophilosophical Association of Anthropological and Cultural Studies.  “To   me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that   were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.” “The final solution resolution could be that God is a mathematician,” Kaku, author of The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind, said in a 2013 Big Think video posted on YouTube. “The mind of God, we believe, is cosmic music, the music of strings resonating through 11-dimensional hyperspace.” (click for reference)

Physicist  Brian Miller looks at various attempts to evade the mounting evidence  that the universe had  a beginning, a Big Bang. Miller and host Casey  Luskin first review the fascinating history of how the eternal universe  model of the nineteenth  century gave way to the Big Bang model. Then  Miller walks through about a  half a dozen attempts to evade a cosmic  beginning after the Big Bang  model had won the day. These evasions  include the steady state model,  the idea of an eternal cyclical  universe, and the string landscape  model. According to this model, our  universe exists in a multi-dimensional brane (not “brain”) which exists  in a higher dimensional space, and our multi-dimensional brane can  collide with  other branes, with each collision creating a Big Bang  moment, a process said to have been going on for all eternity. Miller  then explains why each of these attempts to evade a true  cosmic  beginning fail, and he says that if matter, energy, and space  came into  existence at the moment of the Big Bang, then it follows that the cause  of this cosmic beginning is something immaterial. And since the cosmic  beginning was finely tuned in many astonishing ways, Miller  says, the  cause of the Big Bang has left the signature of intelligent  design. (click for reference)

Dr  Stephen Meyer of the Discovery Institute stated: The fine-tuning of the  laws of physics and chemistry to allow for  advanced life is an example  of extremely high levels of CSI in nature.  The laws of the universe  are complex because they are highly  unlikely. Cosmologists have calculated the odds of a  life-friendly  universe appearing by chance are less than one part in 10^{10^123}.  That’s ten raised to a power of 10 with 123 zeros after it! The laws of the universe are specified  in that  they match the narrow band of parameters required for the  existence of  advanced life. As an atheist cosmologist Fred Hoyle  observed, “[a]  common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a  super  intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and   biology.” The universe itself shows strong evidence of having been   designed.
