But it helps if you accept the universe is the purpose made creation of the almighty God before you get into those details.
What does it help? It helps you maintain your maintain belief in your God I suppose. Anything else?
Golden Ratio mythology is still being thrown around, instead of being recognized as an artificial approximation?
"It's not hard to select examples that seem to support the notion that nature's patterns are built on f. But if that doesn't work for a particular case, some of these folk start using the ratios of sizes of the first few values of the Fibonacci series, before the ratios begin to clearly converge to f. If we also include ratios of these ratios we can play with 1/3, 3/8, 8/21, 5/13, 5/21. These ratios are 1, 0.5, 0.6, 0.618, 0.75 with reciprocals 1, 2, 1.5, 1.6, 1.618. In fractional form we have approximately 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/3, 1, 3/2, 5/3 and 2 to make mischief with. We can even throw in the approximate value 1.62 = 34/13 and its reciprocal 13/34 for good measure. And if none of these suit our purpose, we can always try one of the Lucas sequences."
