Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism

[The Grand Nudger]

With regard to the theoretical perspectives I discussed, my opinion would be that the intelligent designer (that first perspective) would be comprised of the whole of the universe, all of the "mind" and all of the "matter".

"The whole universe, all mind and matter" would have to be intelligent for that then, wouldn't it, and designing things? Doesn't seem to be either, or at least I'm unaware of any reason to assume that this is so.

It's consciousness in every atom experiencing expanded conscious awareness through experience of a reality.

Right, but does the universe have a consciousness at all, let alone an "expanded" one? I see no reason to assume so.

It could be assumed that the experience of reality operates similar to our understandings of how holographs and cloud computing work. in this sense the intelligent designer and the designed, the 'influencer' and the influenced, the 'experiencer' and the experienced are all one and the same elements.

Anything could be assumed. But supposing we did assume that...how does the rest follow?

To clarify again, the perspective would assume intelligent designer is also the design, the representation and all the influencing variables and outcomes.

I'm afraid you've stretched the concept so far it's become meaningless. But that's just my opinion. Obviously, it has meaning to you, and there's probably a better way to express it (or, if not -better- a way in which I might be able to understand what you're talking about)? The "intelligent designer" is, essentially, everything...except that we still haven't shown the intelligence or the design...so..........?

I've got a question, might help me to shed some light on your position. I have a lighter in my hands. Is it conscious? Is it part of some conscious thing or greater entity? If so to either, in what way, and how can you tell?
