I am not trying to get anyone to believe in multiple dimensions, I was just throwing a thought out there.
And your entire reason you accept this, is because of some vague passages in a Bronze Age text of mythology.
Yeah, you're doing science alright.
What you are doing, and have been doing in this entire thread, is one big, long argument from ignorance.
The things you are claiming have the "hallmarks of design", do not.
Design is not detected by complexity or analogy, as you are doing. Design is detected by contrasting it with things that occur naturally.
You believe that the entire universe is a product of design, down to every grain of sand. Yet you ignore all the grains of sand (that are a product of design), and bring up all sorts of complex natural mechanisms within cells, and make these your examples of things that must have been designed.
Why are you skipping over all the designed grains of sand when pointing to "god designed" things?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
