That is why neologic induction is not in the sandbox and is why God is always Formal first cause.

Nope, I didn't. Big Grin
In fact, I stopped reading at "Efficient Cause" because it's just regurgitating Aristotle's tired old shit.

That cannot be because infinity has no being to see.

Eternity does, and therefore is the continuity of infinity in us.

For eternity to be the seer must see the seer see and that will be via woman in us who, as the womb of man in which we are the fullness of who we think we are as outsider to her.

Remember here that woman was taken from man to leave her in the fullness of us and we are the one with the hole in our head.

RE: Detecting design or intent in nature
I had to go to Wikipedia just to figure out what an "efficient cause is".

In the Four Causes section, I tried to read the 1st one, Material cause, and only got through:
"A change or movement's material cause is the aspect of the change or movement which is determined by the material which the moving or changing things..." and could only read it in Bill Cosby's voice at that point.

Yes, and beyond belonging is being, and beyond being is seeing the being see, and that is when you first know who you are as if only the bottom light in a Christmas tree seen.

It is from this point in life that the journey of life really begins with a star shining above to lead us on to the top. Just imagery, that's all.

Additionally, you do realize I'm using random, profound-sounding words smashed together in no particular order or structure, right? You're responding to gibberish. Which is convenient, because you're also responding with gibberish.
