Complexity, Evolution, and Intelligence

science is logically and beautifully perfect

The Big Bang model does not postulate that the universe came from nothing.

this is an amazing video

This is all how it started

Really interesting to put it into perspective like this

The experiment on me

The difficulty in this thesis is a linguistic presupposition that we can basically reverse engineer what "intelligence" means to fit a notion that plants, bacteria or say an entire ecosystem or planet are - or that the universe itself is - intelligent. But that dissolves the specificity of how human intelligence was central to our later evolution and historical progress, e.g. rocket science and astronomy. To think that a tree is intelligent somehow "feels awesome", but that's because we subconsciously project our understanding of our own human intelligence onto the tree, which definitely does not experience reality in the same way we do. Nature, biology, chemistry and physics have a kind of "logic" to them. In a sense there is a mathematical structure to reality. Atoms of elements have certain properties that tend towards certain combinations with other atoms because ultimately entropy rules everything. Life itself is a highly organised and complex, low-entropy state of being; countless chemical combinations constantly ticking over into lower states of energy all the while fueled by energy that comes from ancient clusters of volatile compounds continuously reacting with eachother in space (e.g. the sun). They react, because on a quantum physical level they are "compelled" to react with each other, because mathematically - as oversimplified as it sounds - that's just how our universe "shakes out". But I hesitate to call that intelligence. Order, yes. Structure, yes. Predictability, yes. But intelligence means more than that. A bacterium can't solve a problem it is faced with in the sense that it makes a choice on what to do. It is either evolved to survive the problem via a chemical reaction of its cell or it isn't. Also, the operatic background music is a bit jarring after a while. I think a more softened background noise accompanies the voiceover much better.

Are you saying all the H2O came from volcanoes erupting?

PS. A plant making a decision is - again - just a very loaded choice of words. A plant cannot simply decide to not flower - even though every single parameter is optimal for flowering. Choice by definition means that other options are possible. Choice involves calculation of probability and imagination of future events. And there is just no evidence that plants do this beyond chemical communication of different parts of the plant (or of different plants) with eachother - resulting from abiotic factors. There is no evidence that bacteria do this. If a bacteria encounters food, it will very probably absorb it. Why would would it choose otherwise?

Did you just go big bang through modernity in 42min? Book of Genesis cant touch that - and miighta skipped a few steps;) amazing work. Under 200 subs?! Sounds about right - never make any money being this good, but thats Art. Im in.

🧞if you are talking about intelligent, STOP The Monsanto Noise=mus!c.⁉️

So, where is the info that build itself? I don't mean God but the missing biological blueprint and architect not found in DNA. PLEASE DON'T throw your science text book at me if you don't understand it yourself.
