The Fallacy of Mechanical Interpretation

THE UNIVERSE TESTIFIES TO GOD’S EXISTENCE evolved mechanical animal so that there would remain no need to accept God’s existence. The fact is that just as a ‘mechanical mind’ like a computer necessarily demands the existence of the superior mind of a human being to account for its existence and functioning, man’s existence and functioning are possible only because of the existence of a Divine Mind, which is far superior to man’s mind. A computer with a ‘mechanical mind’ cannot exist without a living human. In the same way, without the Creator God, a living human is simply impossible. A Case in Point In 1983, the US Navy engaged in military exercises near San Francisco. This process was conducted through computers. A naval cannon was meant to be used as part of these naval exercises, but when that happened, there was some computer-related problem. As a result, the cannon balls began firing in the opposite direction. The plan was for the cannon balls to fall off far into the sea, but due to a computer problem, the balls began falling in the reverse direction and fell near a cargo ship. In computers, such mistakes called ‘glitches’ keep on happening. Why is this so? This is because a computer is just a physical machine made of matter. It does not possess intelligence of its own. From this, it can be assumed that had the universe been a mere physical machine with no God controlling it—as many atheists might say—it could never function as perfectly and accurately as it does. It might have
