At the beginning of the twenty first century the prevailing and vigorously defended view is that the Universe happened by chance. All fundamental sub-atomic processes are thought to be "random" and the only way to quantify them seems to be the "uncertainty" principle. Clearly, our conclusions about the Reality of the Universe are determined and limited by our imagination. Can we imagine alternatives? What if nothing in the Universe is by chance? Could it be by CHOICE?
Did the Universe happen by chance or is it the result of an intelligent Design? What is more probable?
Although the probability of the Universe appearing "by chance" is generally agreed to be infinitesimally small, the entire science on Earth seems to focus on this single possibility. What could possibly be achieved by following this narrow path of thinking? Proof that the Universe exists because it CAN? Since the Universe already DOES exist - who needs proof that the Universe "can" exist?
The most probably concept to consider is that the Universe has been intelligently designed and - as every intelligent design - it has a Purpose.
In fact, to a sincere and intelligent observer - every atom in Nature around us seems a masterpiece of intelligent Design. Nature in its entirety can be considered as a manifestation of a truly Great Intellect, far greater in fact that most of us can imagine.
In contrast, no one on Earth seems to be intelligent enough to MAKE an atom, even the simplest one. So far we have only learnt how to smash atoms into pieces, and even then - we cannot explain all the details about the resulting debris. What would you say to a child who continues smashing toys in order to demonstrate that "toys make themselves" ? The smashing continues...
Generations of highly intelligent people on Earth have been trying to figure out how atoms and sub-atomic "particles" such as electrons are made. Since no one could establish a deterministic model for electron oscillations, they were proclaimed "uncertain" and unexplorable. Consequently, mathematical models of the electron and other "particles" focus on estimating the probability of encountering certain states of their oscillation, according to the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg.
Is it possible that what we can only explain today as "uncertainty" in electron oscillations is actually the evidence of a continuous information transfer between electrons? Could the entire Universe be a gigantic facility to process information?
