Can Science Find Mind?
By Leo Gura - September 22, 2023
This discussion is educational if you study it for errors in thinking by both sides.
Theists are correct in assuming that there must be a vast intelligence or mind behind the design of life and the Universe. However they screw up when they assume this mind to be something like a man in the clouds. It is a mistake to try to pinpoint God’s mind as something before the Big Bang or the like. The entire Universe just is the mind of God! Period. End of story. The intelligence of God is distributed throughout the entire field of consciousness within which everything occurs. It is not that God sat down and designed the DNA of life 3 billion years ago. It’s that God’s intelligence is flowing through the whole cosmos at all times. You don’t try to pinpoint the intelligence in any single cause or event, you recognize it as the flow of the whole cosmic symphony.
The other big mistake made by theists, and Christians especially, is trying to use the Big Bang as evidence of God because it seems to confirm the Creation story from the Bible — Boom! and the world was born. But this is a mistake. Creation is Eternal. It’s an Eternal Dream that has existed forever. God is forever in the process of Creation. Creation is not a singular event that happened billions of years ago. You can find infinite chains of causation going back forever, far older than the Big Bang. No single Creation event is necessary, nor is it proof of anything. It’s absurd for theists to avoid infinite regress arguments. This is the single greatest clue of God’s existence. God is infinite regress in all directions! If you’re a Christian or theist you should gladly embrace all the infinite regresses found throughout the Universe and use them to bash atheists and scientists over the head.
The best way to defeat an atheist/materialist/scientist is to bludgeon him to death with Infinity. You can destroy all of physics, mathematics, and logic with Infinity. It’s just that nobody has the balls to do it. Infinity to a physicist is like garlic to a vampire. Because, of course, Infinity is God. Just the fact that you can count up forever is proof of God, you just don’t realize it yet. That bit of proof will only make sense in retrospect, after Awakening.
No amount of reasoning, logic, or evidence can prove God. The only proof is the moment of your Awakening. All the evidence only makes sense in retrospect. People who try to prove God without first Awakening are wasting time and making fools of themselves. And people who try to debunk God are making even bigger fools of themselves. You can’t debunk your own existence. Nor can you prove it to anyone but yourself.
Towards the end of the video Michael Shermer asks, “So how does a mind create something out of nothing?” To which the answer is: An infinite mind, by virtue of having nothing outside it, has no rules bounding what it can or cannot do. This makes it literally Omnipotent. And thus it is able to do the impossible: create itself out of nothing at zero cost. And THAT is why we call it God and not anything else. God is the only object that can account for its own existence. Which is why God is the only thing that can exist. Nothing else can exist because nothing else can create itself from nothing. And anything that can create itself from nothing must be God. And so the final theory of everything just is: Infinite Mind. Once you got that, you’re Awake. And say to yourself, “OH MY GOD! OF COURSE!” And then you laugh at every scientific, academic, philosophic, skeptic, materialist, theism, atheism buffoon on the planet.
