Beyond Intelligent Design – From the upcoming book, Wisdom To Heal the Earth.
Some 500 years ago, Rabbi Isaac Arama wrote that there is another way to perceive the infinite Creator. If we look with open eyes, we will discover the signature of an unknowable Creator within the knowable patterns of nature. If we look with open eyes, we will discover the signature of an unknowable Creator within the patterns of nature we know so well. We will see and we will comprehend the impossible.
And we have.
For one thing, we have found universal constants. Which is a great puzzle. Our universe is composed of finite parts, constantly moving, decaying and restructuring. How is it that in every part of the universe we observe, and for all of time that we can surmise, the gravitational constant remains the same, the ratio of light, energy and mass remains the same, along with several other mysterious numbers that never change in a universe defined by change?
Rabbi Arama would answer, “Aha! The signature of the Artist, an unchanging G‑d.”
