Yes .. In the case of Sunflower growth, (such as the position of its sprouting florets), the pattern is simply produced by the plant's hormones:Emergent mathematical representation of patterns show that small simple processes can create larger pieces of emergent order... this is the opposite of proof for conscious control of nature.
It's like how thermodynamics allow for order to come out of chaos in examples like Crystals.
Instead of just parroting some thing you saw on Zuck's co-ed rating site, you could actually bother to find out why things that grow by adding new things at the center and spreading out.From: Log into Facebook
MATHEMATICAL FORMULAS IN NATURE...ABSOLUTE PROOF OF CREATION
View attachment 365084
Plants and many other things in nature are keyed to various involved mathematical formulas, one of which is the Fibonacci series. Leonardo of Pisa, nicknamed Fibonacci (c. 1170-1230 A. D.) discovered this particular formula.It begins with: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,... and runs onward, with each number the sum of the previous two numbers (8 + 13 = 21, 13 + 21 = 34, etc.). This series is to be found in the reproduction of male bees, the number of spiral floret formations visible in many sunflowers, spiraled scales on pine cones and pineapples, the arrangement of leaves on twigs, as well as many other structures. If you were to look downward from above on a tree trunk, you would find that the branches emerge in accordance with the Fibonacci pattern. One will issue from the trunk at a certain point, the next one above it will emerge on a different side of the tree at a point in relation to the series. Gaze into a sunflower head and you will clearly see the Fibonacci series in the manner in which the seeds are arranged; there you see lines spiraling outward. Look sideways at a closed pine cone and you will see the series spiraling around the cone...ONLY COULD THIS MATHEMATICAL FORMULA EXIST WITH A CREATOR'S INTELLIGENCE, OUR GOD THE GOD OF THE BIBLE!
I'm not sure what is supposed to be special about this one. All we get from you is some invocation to "obey". I decline.I have added a photo of a cross section of a rattlesnake rattle. A fascinating example of God's sacred geometry. Mathematical formulas, once again, do not exist without intelligence.

And that Intelligence has a Name - Jesus! God bless us all who do, and shall, believe and obey Him. The glory is His alone!
What you are arguing here is mathematical realism which, even if you succeed, brings you no closer to demonstrating the existence of God.The formula's existence preceeded Fibonacci's perception of it...
1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV
"But as it is written:
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

The simple answer is that Fibonacci spirals (in 2D) provide the most effective packing for thing that grow by inserting new, small things at the center and spreading out. This is true of the sunflower head, the pinecone. It is also true of tight patterns of leaves competing for light also often emerge in Fibonacci spirals. (Other patterns for leaf alternation on branches include alternation.
It's just math, not divine intervention or design.
The obverse would reveal the inexplicable reality of a so-called lover of science who would fail to see cause and effect when it's right before their proverbial nose, eh?Psalm 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Smacks more of a worshipper of man's incredibly inferior intellect compared to Almighty God. Any self-delusion to escape accountability.
Said with all due respect, of course...

Excellent vid, AV! I would love to have heard the guy's rejoinder. But, alas, I'm sure that someone else who limits God to what he can perceive in his 3 lb. brain will be along shortly! *big grin*I just watched this short video.
It's amazing!

Easy .. the dude claiming that God is outside of time, space and matter, just demonstrated how his (~2lb) brain comes up with that model .. ie: by using the brain he claims is too small to conceive of that model and then go on to worship it.Excellent vid, AV!

Yes! More than one claims a life-changing experience after viewing. Not surprising, "God inhabits the praise of His people!"It sure is! Did you read the comments afterwards?
I actually found the whole debate, but don't want to post without watching first. It's 2+ hours long.Ya ... I'd love to see an attempt at a rebuttal of that!
Sounds like the reasoning of one stuck in an infinite loop - kinda like a hamster in a wheel.Easy .. the dude claiming that God is outside of time, space and matter, just demonstrated how his (~2lb) brain comes up with that model .. ie: by using the brain he claims is too small to conceive of that model and then go on to worship it.
Hmm. "Dr." Kent Hovind. I'm sure that's a doozy of a face palm. I'm surprised any one take he remotely seriously.Yes! More than one claims a life-changing experience after viewing. Not surprising, "God inhabits the praise of His people!"

3 against 1. Hmm... kinda like the ratio on this fine forum, huh? Would forward to you but can't pm you. If you do a YouTube search on 'kent hovind vs reinhold schlieter' it will be the first to pop up. Enjoy, Dr. Hovind kicks it off with a bang (ironic pun intended)!

It is a fraudulent doctorate from a fake "university". He deserves no such respect.Generally one with a doctorate is conferred upon the privilege of identifying as a Dr.
If the argument is devastating and defies logical rebuttal, what does a title mean anyway?
Sounds like it, according to: Golden ratio - WikipediaIs not all this called 'The Golden Ratio', God's finger print ?
As for other info about 'The Golden Ratio', beats the φor ϕ outta me. It's all Greek to me (pun intended). Cheers!
Who gives a rip? One man's accredited is another man's unaccredited. Nobody eventually discredited Edison or Einstein for being drop-outs, did they?It is a fraudulent doctorate from a fake "university". He deserves no such respect.

Your, or my, respect is irrelevant to his argument. Have you got a rebuttal, or no?
