Evidence of intelligent design?
Fractals have fascinated me for a long time, the idea that nature is random seems clearly wrong to me.

Cheeks - thanks for posting. Somehow, someway we are
All connected to each other and the entire design of 🇺🇳 universe. Elegant and beautiful
That's deep. Fibonnaci sequence in nature - also pretty amazing.

Yes, Fibonacci sequence is incredible too.

I’ve always thought the deism of the founders was wise
Not sure why that sorta faded out.
Several of the Founding Fathers were not nice guys
More than a few massive hypocrites.

Maybe you should tone down your reverence for them.
Just thought. Your call. You know what’s best for you.
Cheers!
Great idea! Thanks for your stellar contribution.

Have you listened to "The New Atheists", not an actual group but a term for an ideology.
People like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris. ive only listened to a bit of Dawkins and others but tens of hours of Sam Harris, and I quote and think about passages from his book "On Free Will".
But to your point there's a thing I've noticed lately where intellectuals and commentators are starting to wonder if belief in a God is necessary for human societies to function. The most interesting was that religious belief is the key to overcoming Dunbar's number.
Anyways, I'm interested in your thoughts here.
I don’t know Harris but I was at a small conference with Dawkins once, years ago
A very nice guy. So is Steve Pinker, who is in that group. I really like his work.
I actually don’t think about this stuff as much as I probably should. But the book below is really worth reading, if you’re into this stuff.

I'm familiar with Frankl's work, concentration camp survivor.
