What properties would the universe have to proclaim to signify a creator or an intelligent designer?

Answer 1

Your talking about science.
Lets break it down to a molecular level.
Most every animal on earth is covered by some sort of skin. Under the right microscope our skin can be seen as cells, cells are our basic building block, because we grow through the cell cycle, The cell cycle is an ordered set of events, culminating in cell growth and division into two daughter cells.

Where do cells come from?
A team in Germany unveiled microscope images of living cells that show details at the scale of individual protein molecules1. And now a group at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) in Ashburn, Virginia, has developed a second way to do much the same thing2.

These techniques should give biologists a much better view of what goes on inside cells at the molecular level.

Where do Molecules Come From?
In chemistry, a molecule is defined as a sufficiently stable electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by strong chemical bonds.

Where do Atoms Come From?
In chemistry and physics, an atom (Greek ἄτομος or átomos meaning "indivisible") is the smallest particle still characterizing a chemical element.

An atom consists of a dense nucleus of positively-charged protons and electrically-neutral neutrons, surrounded by a much larger electron cloud consisting of negatively-charged electrons. An atom is electrically neutral if it has the same number of protons as electrons. The number of protons in an atom defines the chemical element to which it belongs, while the number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element.

What is a nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom is the very small dense region of an atom, in its center consisting of nucleons (protons and neutrons). The size (diameter) of the nucleus is in the range of 1.6 fm (10-15 m) (for a proton in light hydrogen) to about 15 fm (for the heaviest atoms, such as uranium). These dimensions are much smaller than the size of the atom itself by a factor of about 23,000 (uranium) to about 145,000 (hydrogen). Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons.

What is an electron?
The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It is a spin-½ lepton that participates in electromagnetic interactions, and its mass is less than one thousandth of that of the smallest atom. Its electric charge is defined by convention to be negative, with a value of −1 in atomic units. Together with atomic nuclei, electrons make up atoms; their interaction with adjacent nuclei is the main cause of chemical bonding.

Electrons are Electricity, and Electricity is Energy.

Now here is the kicker with Intelligent Design, what you are about to learn is that the Creator of the Universe is acutually Energy. This is what people pray to, pray for, and are afraid of.

The Case Of Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

Answer 2

As an atheist/agnostic, I can honestly say that I don't know. For all I know, there may be 100 deities, none of which created anything, or even a whole universe-sized drop of fluid around our universe, all contained in an alien syringe that will take another 400 billion years to squirt out. The fact I do not know, and I have no evidence for god, makes me an atheist because I have no 'belief'.

Answer 3

I believe that short of a full revelation of his divinity such as would occur in Revelation or did occur in Bagavad-Gita; there will never be any "sign" that will get everyone on board.

The avatars of God in the past - Jesus, Krishna, Rama - came at times somewhat remote from now and therefore casting a lot of doubt on the validity of the story. I can not think that God would intentionally make it "hard" to believe in him so I have to think this God is much different than many think. Maybe he is not the cosmic manager that many think him.

I believe in the impersonal yet universal absolute. Call it Being, Brahma, Buddha Nature or whatever, it is located just as much within in you as without. More importantly, it will not stop your suffering, it asks that you look within and find your true self there. Once you manage that then you must help others. So we are interdependent. We need each other. The violence and evil in this world will not stop until we realize our own true nature and then act on that realization. We must stop sitting around and waiting for some being from beyond to solve our problems for us.

Answer 4

Well first of all there is no law that says the universe must be inherently orderly. We have no idea why the universe follows scientific laws and principles. We search and do experiments to show that order exists. We use trial and error, we hypothesize, we study, and the great majority of our scientific experiments fail, yet scientists press on in some kind of faith that the universe will always be found orderly. If there is some scientific law that says the universe is orderly what is the name of it?

Answer 5

This is exactly the kind of stuff I think about. And I can't find ALL the answers to it which drives me crazy. But thinking about how our earth is....how we are HERE living and breathing.....seems proof enough that there HAD to be a creator or intelligent designer.

Answer 6

Intelligent life is all that would be minimally required. Otherwise, there would be nothing or no one to make such a proclamation.

EDIT: Also a means of making said proclamation (some means of communication), and an audience for whom such a proclamation might be significant.

Answer 7

There is no possible evidence for such things (1), which is why they are not science at all. This is also why "scientific atheism" s an irrational position (asking for evidence where none can be given). Thus, all that one can reasonably be is a Strong Agnostic.

Answer 8

Differentiation between good and evil. A demarcation is utmost. Otherwise, we define it ourselves and the whole argument points to the creatures as self-made.

Answer 9

Lack of the Duck Billed Platypus. Seriously, what the hell?

Answer 10

It would have a God that talks to everyone, even short people and guys with "one-hung-low" syndrome -- as opposed to the god that is talking in Leviticus 21:20 --
