exactly the right way for us to exist for life to appear the laws could have been different the constants could have been different and if they were the universe would never have given rise to carbon atoms to life on Earth etc etc this the anthropic principle the cosmological anthropic principle um so people say well then if they're exactly right for us and all these things have completely fine-tuned exactly right then either there must be a kind of engineering God who's

Most humans are innately aware of the existence of fundamental laws of nature. These are the laws that define our material existence of our universe that we physically inhabit and that currently define our conscious existence. But what humans fail to realize is that how these laws, when singled out for dissection seem so contrary to our common sense. This series is slowly reminding you that the rules of life follow the physical laws who are their counterpart, even when your beliefs cause you to think otherwise. When you begin to explore the microcosm of our quantum reality you begin to see how…

There's reasons why things exist, reasons why things happen. And this was elevated to a principle called the principle of sufficient reason. The principle of sufficient reason is literally the bumper sticker you see that says everything happens for a reason. Okay, there's a technical way of saying it that linenets uh the guy on the right said Spinosa is in the middle. All three of these philosophers promagated this principle and the way that Linus put it was the sake for which something happens is the final cause. Sorry, the principle sufficient reason is nothing is without a ground or reason …

If there was such a force, which I cannot prove by definition that there was not, if there was an entity that was responsible for the beginning of the cosmos, and that also happened to be busily engineering the very laborious product, production of life on our little planet, it still wouldn't prove that this entity cared about us, answered prayers, cared what church we went to, or whether we went to one at all, cared who we had sex with or in what position or by what means, cared what we ate or on what day, cared whether we lived or died. There's no reason at all why this entity isn't complete…

It is time you realize we are more connected to the invisible than the visible forces of nature. Healing yourself is entirely connected with helping heal and nourish others. Our existence is a way for the universe to know itself. The field is the most important factor in life, because it is the one none of us perceive, yet has the greatest effect on our biology. Einstein once said he could not believe that God threw dice to help form life using the the laws of nature buried in quantum theory. He said this because his ideas lead to the mathematics of QED. That math led to the uncertainity princ…

**TRUTH BOMB** I want to remind you that the science that dictates these biologic rhythms are based upon these universal laws, not biologic ones. They are not subject to an RCT or your beliefs. They are already firmly established by deep experimental proofs in physics. *Don’t forget all life is made up from atoms within biology.* Biology fails to realize this to your detriment. I don’t.

The key to this argument is "perfection" and the statement: "any concept which has no objective reality of its own would be imperfect" (and therefore not exist) is the thin thread upon which the validity of argument hangs. 6] The Teleological Argument The presence of design in the world, the fact that objects are designed with a purpose, to function for a given end, implies the existence of an intelligent, competent designer, who planned the purpose of each thing that exists. The teleological argument posses problems of its own. The same fellow who debated the previous arguments insisted that …

Yet evolutionist philosophy does not hesitate to extend to the things of life the same methods of explanation which have succeeded in the case of unorganized matter. It begins by showing us in the intellect a local effect of evolution, a flame, perhaps accidental, which lights up the coming and going of living beings in the narrow passage open to their action; and lo! forgetting what it has just told us, it makes of this lantern glimmering in a tunnel a Sun which can illuminate the world. Boldly it proceeds, with the powers of conceptual thought alone, to the ideal reconstruction of all things…

This is the real behavior of physical stuff in the universe. So Aristotle says, "I know what's going on. Motion is an unnatural state of being. There are natural ways for things in the universe to be places that things want to be in forms of motion that places and things want to have. And if you just let something go and don't disturb it, it will just sit there. It will not move. Motion requires an impetus, a mover. Something needs to be pushing it."

Matter is always, in all cases, without exception. Without a single exception, matter is always what mind looks like. You know, if I hold this glass and feel its solidity and weight, these are mental qualities. Solidity and weight are qualities in my conscious states. God is not this mass. God is imminent in the mass. In other words, the mass is the appearance of God. Some people think of free will as libertarian free will. And what that means is whatever I do, I could have done otherwise. That is probably incoherent. Nobody in the universe can possibly know what choices you're going to make. …

Because to Einstein, it was very obvious that nature would not design a system in which mechanical laws are the same but laws of electricity are different. So, he postulated that all phenomena, whatever be their nature, will be unaffected by going to a frame at constant velocity relative to the initial one. That's a very brave postulate because it even applies to biological phenomena about which I'm sure Einstein knew very little. But he believed that natural phenomena will just follow either the principle of relativity or they won't. And that is something you should think about. Because that …
