NO.

No need.

 

[CynthiaCypher]

No. Intelligence is an evolutionary development. So don't blame God, it was an accident.

 

[Willamena]

What doesn't get to qualify as part of the creation?

 

[idav]

If you say no then god wasnt intelligent? Would fit an unintelligent underlying reality.

What is the exceptions to needing a cause?

What is the exceptions to needing a cause?

What is definable?

 

[idav]

What is definable?

Defining requires intelligence.

 

[Willamena]

Defining requires intelligence.

As does cause.

 

[idav]

As does cause.

Not necessarily, only we put the intelligence in things.

Don't confuse the Divine Omniscience with animal intelligence.

 

[idav]

Don't confuse the Divine Omniscience with animal intelligence.

Your saying god is the potential for intelligence but didnt create it?

 

[Sleeppy]

Yes. This is obvious. A source had to provide the information, and the interactional laws between varying forms of information in our reality.

Did it need to be programmed?

 

[Willamena]

Not necessarily, only we put the intelligence in things.

With intelligence, we put cause in things.

Since (at very least) the 18th Century, mankind has believed that we are the intelligence behind causes.

There is no place we see where any mythology has had any hand in any part of evolution of any animal.

Intelligence is something we see in natural evolutionary processes, starting small and primitive, and slowly evolving into more and more until we reach todays state.

So....the ability to say....I AM!.....is no sign of intellect?

Someone had to be First.

 

[Willamena]

So....the ability to say....I AM!.....is no sign of intellect?

Someone had to be First.

Wrong question.

 

[idav]

So....the ability to say....I AM!.....is no sign of intellect?

Someone had to be First.

Are you saying god did create intelligence?

 

[idav]

With intelligence, we put cause in things.

Since (at very least) the 18th Century, mankind has believed that we are the intelligence behind causes.

Possible just not necessary.

Sounds like you got the same dvd as me.

How does intelligence emerge from non-intelligence. Its like an on off switch, volition either happens or not there isnt an in betweeen.
