Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

snowflakes form patterns but are never the same.

The rocks in the bowl are never going to fall in precisely the same place either.

What determines the shape of each particular snowflake is a combination of natural rules about crystal formation, and the particular patterns of humidity and warmth and coldness the flake encounters on it's decent. It isn't design, it's random application of rules. NOAA: How Do Snowflakes Form?

I think you need to go back and familiarize yourself with the conversation were having...

were talking about the golden ratio / Fibonacci Sequence and how it repeats itself in everything from the shape of the universe on down to DNA.

in case your not familiar with the subject.

The fallacy of considering repeating shapes or patterns like the golden ratio or other expressions of the Fibonacci Sequence proof of design has been discussed to death in the last ten pages. It is a pattern that grows out of it's structural utility, and the way DNA replicates previous patterns rather than starting over again from whole cloth (an effect of mutation). And like the rules governing the form of snowflakes, it almost never really and truly repeats itself. Nature is always just a little off. And then there's all those times nature doesn't utilize the golden ratio at all.

structural utility?
Then explain why bees would reproduce according to the Fibonacci Sequence.

Haplodiploidy, you explained that, yourself..... pages ago. Why have you gone back to this?

Because of people new to the conversation too lazy to read.

Too lazy to read what, that you'd explained away your own argument?

My point in using bees as an example is to show that the Fibonacci Sequence is not just found in "structure" but also in animal behavior.

I've read the whole thread. And I joined many pages before you. It isn't a thread about the Golden Rectangle. And the Golden Ratio has been buried. It exists. It exists. It doesn't exist in all nature and it doesn't come anywhere near proving design.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Haplodiploidy is not a behavior.
(I'm certain, however that we could find some example of an animal behavior that gets as close to the sequence, or ratio as anything else you've mentioned - or at the very least that we could find some behavior which we could conceive of -as such-)
