Yes, apart from evolution there were several advanced entities (called gods in religion) that designed and fashioned ancient men, microbes, plants, animals.

Those entities also designed suns, moons, and I think planets (not sure I remember this correctly). All these are claims from those books I made mention of earlier.

I think there are some truths in the claims and believe science of today will still get to the level of creating man, through DNA sequencing and cloning, 3D organ printing, and in vitro fertilisation. In the near future, scientists will also be able to design suns, moons, planets.

Did you read the news story reported last year about the artificial moon designed by scientists in China? I think some German scientists also designed an artificial sun.

DNA sequencing and cloning and in vitro fertilisation have already witnessed great breakthroughs in the modern era.

Of course, if they can create a man, designing animals and plants can also be achieved. Obviously, such scientists will face backlash from ethicists and religionists. But it's only a matter of time before science will sound the death knell on religions and superstitious beliefs. It's a gradual process.

All the technologies and techniques for creating man, animals, plants, and astrological bodies are not new; they are only lost or hidden.

Anything any scientist or god creates, in my opinion, is still created by The Infinite Intelligence (who some call God) as every living thing, planet, universe, etc. lie within it and are its aspects. That's my own philosophy as of now.

I have created a topic titled the 'Explanation for Existence'

All the stars, planets and galaxies that can be seen today make up just 4 percent of the universe. The other 96 percent is made of stuff astronomers can't see, detect or even comprehend and you say this are not amazing. If i may ask what will you not consider as masterminded nonsense. I mean what will be logically amazing to you?

I have created a topic titled ' The Explanation for Existence' as regards stuff like that.(e.g.creationism).

Nothing/nobody deserves absolute praise when considered logically absolutely.

I think you're looking at this issue through the lens of religion. Science will do that and more.

You only need to stay abreast of current progress and research made by scientists in molecular biology, robotics, stem cell transplant, organ transplant, 3D organ replication and printing.

The possibilities of science in the new age are limitless. In the 20th and 21st centuries, surgeons have been able to transplant virtually every organ in the body, including brain, heart, lungs, etc.

And radical scientists have done a lot of research on techniques for head transplant and have conducted tests on dogs. Vladimir Demikhov, a Russian scientist, is one of such doctors who conducted a series of head transplant experiments and created a 2-headed dog in the 1950s.

Dr. Robert White has also done similar experiments with monkeys. And a number of other doctors.

It's only a matter of time before the techniques will become improved so that they can be suitable for man, to give life to a cadaver.

It's only a matter of time before scientists will be able to create man using things from nature.

Religionists may regard these possibilities as atrocious or heretical but I am an advocate of any technology that will improve human lives, reduce mortality rates across the world, and expand the oeuvres of scientists' research on biological concepts.

And when such milestones are finally made, necessary checks will be put on place to curb any abuse... .

"Good"/"Bad" have nothing to do with these.

If you are saying that there is a 'brain' behind the appearance of Man on Earth,you should also accept that all that has been happening,including the questionables ,are elements of the brain's orchestration.
And only a 'cracked' brain would mastermind such nonsense.

You are antropomorphize the universe by saying is a masterminded nonsense. Therefore we need to known which is not a masterminded nonsense. Hence brought the notion of bad and good.

Universe is natural then there can be no nonsense in it. Nature only trys to get back the balance it should have and does so without consulting our morality. Hence, nature only does what is naturally best to sustain existence. One ‘right' in one place might be wrong in another, but that's all in our mind, fashioned by the perspective we decide to view from. Nature made us, we can only learn from nature because it portrays the purest form of what ‘right’ is. So, nature can't be wrong. The further away we adapt from nature, the more we create an imbalance, when nature corrects that, we call it wrong. Oooh! We are the ones who are wrong ‘naturaly' when we tamper with nature.

And you shouldn't blame Man entirely for certain things,considering the fact that he is "An Outburst of Nature".
As a matter of fact,Nature should blame itself for anything that happens naturally-including Human Behavior-and if the event is super-natural,Super-Nature should be 'bleeped'.

so messing about with bits of pre-existing living entities like placing nuclei from one cell inside a membrane of another is creation? Nah, That is not creating life. It's merely genetic engineering, which is a different thing altogether.To create life, scientists must use inert organic chemicles and arrange them, from scratch, into a self-replicating molecule......Impossible! Not even a butterfly will scientist be able to create.

Religionists may regard these possibilities as atrocious or heretical but I am an advocate of any technology that will improve human lives, reduce mortality rates across the world, and expand the oeuvres of scientists' research on biological concepts.

They cannot throw a few chemicals in a test tube and create the most basic forms of life. (IE) create life from nothing. Not from some cloned whatever, not from genetic engineering, from nothing. They say that life started from a few chemicals wallowing around in a pool of amino acid, add sunlight and just like magic, we created life. If it was so easy why can't they do it now. The more they dig, the more they find how complicated even the most basic life is. It is design folks not chance.

No scientist can create anything without using things from nature, which is an aspect of God.

If everyone were religious and had those self-limiting beliefs typically encouraged in religions, we would still be stuck in the Stone Age by now.

Even the phone you type your posts on Nl with was engineered using things from nature.

Nature doesn't just mean trees and plants. The definition of nature is, the phenomena of the physical world collectively. Humans are a product of nature. So even if we killed everything else. Nature would still live in us. How should nature be bleeped when we are part of what is called nature.

It is clear from observations that the goal of what we called nature is to make creatures that thrive as best as possible. That is the only result of evolution and adaptation, to see which species adapt and thrive. Those that do, grow. Those that don't, die away. It is an eternal competition of survival of the fittest. We are just the "fittest" when it comes to survival. Under the rules of nature, we should actually be killing off all animals that are incapable of surviving. And that is all what we been doing....

Historically, religion contribute to the development of technology, the architectural works of cathedral and temple are brain work of religionists architect. What fercilitate technology are two basic things. Food production and religious activities. You need to be abreast with history to invalidate my postulation.

Even physical science refers to a naturalistic approach to the study of the world, which is understood as obeying rules or laws of natural origin. How can science go beyound its subject.

Possibilities are actualized by the Existential Constant and this can happen at anytime because In-Existence is impossible.

If you truly desire a saner PLANE where the 'Forming of Existence' also takes place,you would have to change/reset the 'Settings' for Existence, which are the functional consequences of the 'Possibility of Existence.’

The 'Possibility of the Existential Constant' represents Existence in different forms.
These 'forms' occur/happen simultaneously to exist and I call this activity the 'The Forming of Existence'
This activity is ever-occurring because the Existential Constant is an ever-existing 'drive' that cannot be determined as regards its form,which is inconsequential.
It doesn't require personification and shouldn't be described as anything other than a 'Constant' which is ever- necessary to keep ''The Possibility of Existence" in Actuality.
The functional consequences of possibilities determine the outcome of actualization.
We shouldn't bother to know 'God'.
"God" is just a word.
'Love,Bad,Good' are just words as well.
And 'WORDS' are 'declarifications'.

There is nothing like 'everything' and there will never be.
The Elements of Existence are different from the chemical elements.
They are actually what we call 'Things'
These things 'happen to exist' at ANYTIME.
But we use words like 'beginning'/'end' because of certain limitations.

Logic is always logical (by tautological definition), but logic is not always rational hence can't always be applicable . Logic starts from a set of presuppositions and works its way through to a set of conclusions, but rationality involves evaluations of those initial presuppositions on moral, aesthetic, ideological, or other non-logical grounds. If one start with different presumptions, one can logically work one's way through to different conclusions.
