Welcome to ProCooling!

You must be a college student. Either that, or you're just looking to make a lasting first impression!

Your statements include examples of false logic. "If the sky is blue, and a blueberry is blue, then the sky is a blueberry". Look familiar?

There are many unanswered questions about our universe, and a lot of our knowledge is limited to what can be observed. Time is one of them.

If you consider the moon, you do not need to know that it revolves around the earth, it is sufficient for you to know that it is there.

Wether the universe is part of a smart design, is a question that will remain unanswered, for quite some time. It delves into theology, as you pointed out, but what you're advancing, is that the universe itself will "do some things".

While some elements can be predicted (planetary movements and such), many others cannot: it's just beyond our scope. For example, you are unable to predict my own actions, which include this post. Just because some elements of the universe are predictable, does not imply that it is "thinking".

So you are down to "awareness": what do you know? What can you predict? What's certain, and what's not?


Have you ever been struck by a vision of infinity?
