The Intelligent Universe

FROM DENIAL TO BELIEF IN GOD is that this universe is its designer. However, all scientific research refutes this claim. The design or order discovered by science in the universe is a brilliant design. On the other hand, science also tells us that the universe has everything save what is called intelligence. The universe discovered by science is, at the same time, a designed universe in the total sense, and along with this, it is non-intelligent. In such a situation, regarding the world to be its designer is like supposing a stone statue with a meaningful design to have been its designer. That is to say that the statue is a selfcreated being. We have only one option for explaining the universe: to hold some outside agency as the cause of the design in the universe. There is no other acceptable option. The Only Choice The truth is that, in this matter, we do not have a choice between a Godless universe and a universe with God. Instead, we can choose from the options: ‘a universe with God’ or ‘no universe at all.’ That is to say that if we deny God, we shall also have to deny the universe’s existence. Since we cannot deny the existence of the universe, we are compelled to accept the existence of God. One of the principles of rationality is that where there is essentially only one option, we have to recognize the compulsiveness of the situation. That is, we are compelled to make just that one choice. However, it is possible to go against this only when more than one possible course of action is available. However, we inevitably accept that single choice when no other option exists. In this context, the
