Mutual Influence of the Metaphysical and Physical

The focus of my message was not to get into too many details.  It is true I could have shortened my post by using countless rather than trillions and quadzillions, but I just thought that quadzillion would be more recognizable and drive the point home better. When I meant fixed orbit I meant that the speed of rotation, and the distance from the central body does not change - I realize that the revolving systems are themselves going around something bigger and therefore moving and not fixed.

 

The essence of my message was that if there is not only a design (for there to be a designer unless it can be proved random), but that when such a design is superhuman, there exists strong indications of a superhuman, divine being that designed it. While Einstein did not believe in "God" (perhaps because of the connotation of a fatherly figure that has been misused by religionists), but he did say that there was a designer. Call it whatever name you want.

 

Since Einstein said that he believed in a "God who reveals Himself in the harmony of all that exists.", this does not imply that God does not exist. If anything, it implies that God does exist - otherwise what did Einstein believe in, and why did he say "God who reveals Himself in the harmony of all that exists." Surely Einstein did not mean that every part of the universe, everything that exists, every atom itself is the designer, and that are a multitude of tiny little gods, or one big god that divided into a countless number of pieces (I am learning, I did not use Quadzillion, but countless)..
