So I was thinking of doing this as a deviation but frankly I don't think it would turn out very well, also I'm tired right now and can't put that kind of effort into this, why can't I do it later? cause I'll probably forget.

Anyway, for those unaware I am a Deist, and for those who don't know a Deist is someone who believes in god but believes ones understanding of god is personal and can only be described by their personal experiences with the universe, thus there can be no 'Deist dogma' nor official church. I won't go into the reasons I'm a Deist just yet but I'll get to that.

Since I like to think of myself as a rational person I've been known to get into the odd theistic debate (youtube's great for that) and one argument theists often use as proof of their god is the inherent beauty of the world, and this has always disappointed me on a level beyond the glaringly obvious flaws of this argument. (The planet is in a constant state of flux between ice ages, melting ice caps ect. so while it looks good now in 10,000 years it'll probably look completely different, as well as the fact that beauty is a subjective thing and thus can't be used as an indefinite proof of intelligent design for an entire planet of people) but besides those arguments I feel there is a whole other level of this that they're completely missing, and is perhaps is one of the biggest reasons for my belief in a higher being.

You see, while the physical representation of an object can look beautiful to some, less beautiful to others and down right hideous to everyone else there is something that's universally constant, no matter your age, race, discursive background or political leanings one thing is always the same, the laws of physics. Of course I use 'hysics' in a very broad sense, from quantum mechanics to classical, even black holes (once we can work out how the bloody things work). And no I'm not joking, some religious people look at a tree and say "Look at that tree, how could something so beautiful and complex have come about by chance? Surely this is the work of God." And yet they fail to see the tree's true elegance, the sheer wonder of it's existence is lost on them because of instead of looking at it's true formation they see only the end result, a pretty tree proceeded only by "poof god did it".

The main problem here is that people seem to assume that if it came about by 'chance' it takes away from the beauty, and as a result they take away the only part of it truly elegant. Think of the beginning, a tiny point of pure energy, too condensed and hot to be anything but energy and suddenly, it explodes outward and matter starts appearing. Then from an endless sequence of matter and energy reacting to itself more and more energies form into new matter until eventually we end up with an entire planet under the perfect conditions for the natural formation of the first 92 elements which then reacted with each other in ways they couldn't in the hot, burning stars.

And after millions of years the first signs of life appeared and these signs of life grew and reproduced and became more complex with every thousand years until eventually an entire planet filled with a huge variety of different life forms developed.

I donno, maybe I didn't convey it that well here but when you think about how ordered the universe is, even when it seems chaotic, that the physical movements, they're thermal and chemical reactions to each other can all be mapped along perfect guides with mathematical equations I wonder why would anyone disregard this kind of ordered beauty in favour of a "God said poof and it all suddenly existed in 7 days time" theory...
