Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.
RE: Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.
@ Huggy,

This conversation about ratios began because you claimed DNA exhibits the golden ratio or phi. Fine, except that our (and I mean humans here) measurements of DNA aren't accurate enough to know that. There are a variety of estimates one of which supports your theory. Because some of the measurements cited weren't whole numbers you suggested that they couldn't be used to in ratios. This is silly because they can easily be converted to whole numbers.

Suppose a rectangle is 3 by five inches. That's a ratio of 3 to 5. But if we measured it in yards it would be 3/36 to 5/36 an inconveniently expressed but equivalent ratio. Notice that the measurements are exactly the same. If I convert that to decimals I can express that as 0.8333333 to 0.18888888889. But regardless of how I express it, it is still the same ratio.

You see, if we divide both sides of 3/36 to 5/36 by 36 we are right back at 3 to 5. ( 3/36 divided by 36 equals 108/36 equals 3. And 5/36 divided by 36 equals 180/36 equals 5). How we express the ratio doesn't change the ratio.

But the matter at hand is that our measurements (and yours) of DNA aren't accurate enough to determine if the ratio of the curves is phi. Everything else is a red herring (though it does demonstrate that math isn't your strong point). So if we don't know if the ratio of DNA is phi, we don't know.

Simple.
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.
