Intelligent Design

[UnReAL13]

What if the universe designed itself? This doesn't have to be a form of pantheism either, perhaps the entire structure of the universe is a non-conscious entity simply repeating a pattern. And maybe this pattern loops itself indefinitely.

Maybe the universe is in a constant process of gradual expansion and contraction, going from a big bang to a big rip and then repeats forever.

No matter what hypothesis we come up with, the question remains: Why did the universe come into existence? Furthermore, is it possible to have an uncaused cause?

First you must ask, whether it "came into existence" at all.

Good question. Maybe the entire structure of it, or at least all of the matter and energy composing the universe, has always existed. Maybe it's simply changing physical states gradually over extremely extended periods of time.

At any rate, looking at our own physical anatomies we don't seem to be designed rather "intelligently". There are so many flaws within the human body that I almost don't know where to begin. Why would a deity who's supposedly perfect in every sense create beings that have to suffer needlessly due to our own faulty designs? Why wouldn't this perfect deity just make everything perfect to begin with, leaving no room for error?

The Fall.
