Is the universe and all its realities perfectly intelligent? What could the IQ of the universe be?

Answer 1

42 + pi + infinity.

Answer 2

That question has no definite meaning. But you probably know that.

The universe is perfectly intelligible to God, but not very to a snail. Between the two is the medieval Great Chain of Being.
And you are taking a stand on the question long debated of the priority of mind over will. Maybe you are right. But some things are only really known when they are loved.

(It's no wonder I get so few points for answering questions !!)

Answer 3

Since the universe by definition includes all, then the IQ of the Universe taken as a whole MUST be 100.

Answer 4

The hypothesis that the Universe as a whole has a collective intelligence or mind, and operates as a single conscious entity is known as Cosmic Consciousness. This is also used for the state of mind when and individual being acquires the conscious of the Whole and realizes the illusion of self. MahaSamadhi the Hindus call this. The hypothesis that all objects, even rocks or bowling balls, much less living beings have some element of consciousness is known as Pan-psychism. If the Univese as a whole does have a collective intelligence, the predictable IQ would be well-nigh infinite and beyond the ability of humans or any computer to calculate. The greatest genius that has ever walked the Earth would be as nothing in comparison, not even measurable.

In Hinduism, Brahman is supreme intelligence of the Universe and has no set form, no set attributes and is essentially unknowable. Hence, the Brahman created out of itself [never a he or she] the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and their consorts. The ineffable feminine form of Brahman and active creative power of Brahman, the Supreme mother goddess is Shakti. The consorts of the triune gods are merely local or finite manifestations of the Supreme Mother Shakti, as they themselves are local manifestations or reflections of the Supreme Brahman, and even the gods die in time, albeit enormous spans of time, equal to the disolution and death of a trillion trillion Universes!and in some versions, Shakti is supreme and primary. Brahman and Shakti are eternal and infinite. No mind can comprehend them, hence the necessity of local or finite gods which the mind can at least grasp incompletely! And in the ultimate, all beings are themselves facets of the Supreme Brahman. There is only one Soul, we merely think ourselves to be a distinct and separate individual from the whole. This is illusion as is the physical Universe, itself a drama, a playground, a testing ground in an endless evolutionary process.

Answer 5

The universe itself is not intelligent, but it could not be random either. Look at the way things work. The laws of nature fit perfectly together to make things the way they are.

The IQ of the universe should be 100 or lower, since 100 is supposed to be the norm for mankind. I say lower since they need to change that average to be lower than it is, just look around.

Answer 6

What would happen if the universe failed an IQ test (which would have to be set by God)?
If the universe contains all thought, then its potential intelligence is equal to the maximum intelligence any part of it can imagine.

Answer 7

--DOES A computer have its own intelligence or has it been programmed?
>>The universe has no personality--as a living entity , so how can it have its own intelligence?

--IS NOT THE UNIVERSE a finely tuned super computer, that can and does have a "very small measure" of control on itself?

--THAT MEASURE has always have to have a master , and an intelligence of unequaled magnitude to keep things functioning automatically, such master has personality--as God!

--NOTE SOME COMMENTS:

>>For example, Robert Jastrow, one of America’s foremost astronomers, wrote on the subject “Have Astronomers Found God?” Among other things, he stated: “Theologians are delighted that the astronomical evidence leads to a biblical view of Genesis—but curiously, astronomers are upset"........
......Interestingly, Jastrow presents three lines of evidence that point to the fact that some 20 billion years ago there occurred a great explosion resulting in galaxies being driven apart at tremendous speeds, some actually at the rate of 100 million miles an hour! Too, it has been determined that the farther out these galaxies are the faster they keep receding. He also reports that at first Einstein—and not only Einstein—was very skeptical regarding this “big bang” theory of the origin of the universe, making such observations as: “To admit such possibilities seems senseless to me.” “This circumstance of an expanding universe is irritating.”
>However, to Einstein’s credit, later he did acknowledge that the theory made sense to him, even as it now does to ever so many other scientists. Such a view of the origin of the universe, as Jastrow noted, at least agree with the Bible’s statement that there was a beginning to the material universe: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”—Gen.1

>>Please keep in mind that in order for the Big Bang to have any feasability it indeed has to have the greatest of control & maintanence by an intelligent PERSON in charge of the controlled explosion!

>>THE BIBLE makes clear reference to this grand controller of energy in full control of the energy maker:

***IN REFERENCE to all celestial bodies note:

(Isaiah 40:26) “. . .Raise YOUR eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one [of them] is missing.”

>>EINSTEINS presentation of E=mc2 is in full agreement with the premise above(written 2500 years ago) of their having to be a tremendously accurate control over what the "dynamic energy" formed as to the making of matter!

*** Lmn p. 9 par. 15 “Look! I Am Making All Things New” ***

>>The European-born scientist Albert Einstein, though reputed to be an atheist, confessed: “It is enough for me to . . . reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe, which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifest in nature.”
>>The American scientist and Nobel prize winner Arthur Holly Compton said: “An orderly unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered—‘In the beginning God.’” He was quoting the opening words of the Bible.
