I am sorry if this has been posted before but:

There is a movement among scientists today that is growing in popularity. It is the realization that we, and all life, were designed. Before we knew about DNA and the inner workings of a cell, even the most primitive one celled organism, we either believed in God or that there was some sort of natural chemical selection (natural selection does not exist without life) or life was a freak accident (basically impossible).

Once we saw how complex DNA was and how complex the inner workings of our cells were, scientists realized that we were designed somehow (it can be "proven" using mathematical logic). They always dance around the implications of these statements though, never talking about a supreme being. It is comforting to know that the universe isn't irrational and that there is intelligence in the universe though.

Some are even proposing because of a mathematical/physics oddity involving black holes and their areas that we are living in a two-dimensional world and that this third dimension is a product of our brains.

Life still seems complicated, but like I said, it is comforting to know that there is intelligence out there, wherever that may "be". I guess the meaning of life, well for scientists anyways, is to improve the quality of human life and to figure out the huge set (rational) of puzzles and riddles that is our universe.

The other implication of these relatively new findings is that God seems like a more logical conclusion than it was before.

Do you think this theory is credible? I think it is definately here to stay and the implications of it are so huge and interesting, it will be fiercly debated until it is disproved.
