Yes, of course there are a handful of wise scientists around. Although surprising few. Even David Bohm didn't really grasp it.

@Leo Gura What do you think about Albert Einstein?

@Pierre Of course God isn't a bearded man in the sky. God is Nothingness.

He was fairly conscious for a scientist. But still, he did not grasp the ultimate nature of reality, which is possible to do.

God is a fancy word that doesn't mean shit.

Until you have the direct experience to which it points, yes.

Consider, to a blind person, the word Red doesn't mean shit.

@Pierre Modern science defines evolution as occurring through random mutations and natural selection.

Scientists will get very angry at you if you try to float the idea that mutations are non-random but intelligent. They will immediately reject that as superstitious nonsense.

Also, natural selection is not the same thing as intelligence. Natural selection actually works through a fairly dumb mechanism. It actually IS possible to use natural selection to select for useful traits. What is NOT possible is to use natural selection to invent a new useful trait. Because selection needs grist for the mill, so to speak. It needs a pool of already existent inventions to sort through.

So modern science has natural selection right, but random mutations wrong.

Can you elaborate? What is intelligent in bad mutations like genetic decease?

[Leo Gura]

@Monkey-man I will shoot a video about evolution soon. It's a deep topic.

I didn't say 100% of all mutations are perfect. Obviously there are some bad ones. In fact, most of the random ones are bad. It's the intelligent ones that lead to progress.

To say that mutations are intelligent is a simple Survivorship Bias, but in the end the question about it being an intelligent process or yielding intelligent results is trivial when looking at the thing as a whole

[Leo Gura]

@DnoReally Consider the possibility that the fabric of reality itself is intelligent.
