Hi, propbably nothing useful I can contribute, but from this kind of thread i just can#t keep away.
So, god is the laws of nature? and god created everything? does it not mean that creation isn#t finished but still going on? evolution is nice description for that.
A god that is nowadays increasingly well understood in his doings, but not at all apart from that.
There was this other guy (P Mainlaender) who talked about order and chaos and made a philosophy about it. He kind of foresaw thermodynamics, and said that the initial state was the state of perfect order (super symmetry i guess it is called today) and there was no time and space, only transcedence - god was a proper god. And what we are witnessing now is the decay of all this perfection into entropy. Finally, all this is going to stop when the chaos is so perfect that it doesn#t change any more. And then god has finished dying.
So the ultimate goal of life and evolution, although it seems to create order, is to catalyze the global disorder to come about even faster (we help god dying), since every bit of order highly structured being like us create destroys a lot more order in the process - to an amount that we start to endanger ourselves already...
and even if it is not the ultimate goal of life, as he states, it is an accurate description of life#s actions and their consequences...
