Reply #74: Infinite - not constant [View All]

But that intelligence is a constant.


You got that one wrong. According to Einstein, it's human stupidity, and it is infinite -- not constant.

Well, "design" implies a designer, this is just the kind of personification or anthropomorphism, you just argued against. This is a method to frame the issue anew, because the first try failed. It's aim is to teach the creation myth instead of science in the schools.

If nature is anything, it is indifferent to its inhabitants. But humans live in social networks, that's what humans are adapted for. In society it's possible to change the attitude of people and thus change the social reality. It's hard for humans to grasp that nature doesn't care about them and nothing can be done to influence it in that way. So it's easier to animate the indifferent nature with the forces, they are adapted to manipulate: the personal forces that exist in society.
