Yeah, a dollar bill and in God we trust I find almost as hyprocital as an extreme islamist saying insha'Allah..

No, I don't think Deism is dead, but I have problems with the creation aspect. If you are saying that God is an emergent property of a hugely complex universe then you have got my attention.
Life itslef is magical in many ways, from sunlight to food, through a complex process into energy to move, to think, to feel and to live. What the unconscious is compared to what our conscious part is in all our existence, is like the energy recalling a memory compared to all as one. Just try to get your head around biochemy from a quantum view resulting in neuroscience, consiciousness, determinism, etc, some how in between times. (Which again leads to socialism economics politics ethics culture etc, not tot mention all from an astronomic perspective)
I don't decide my hair grows, nor do I have to give effort to heal a small wound. The process of reproducing in every part of nature is as magical as what ever the origin was. All the fauna and flora closing the perfect circle of oxygen and carbon dioxide..
But yeah that's just in my opinion.. Still, all the useless bullshit in this world is the different side, perhaps mankind just hit puberty and the pointless stuborness will slowly start to fade any day soon now..
Anyhow, this is more interesting:
The whole periodic table of elements captures all the different materials in their smallest of being as they are existing. Most you just find in nature and some are made by men, but they all have something in common..
Take the first one, an hydrogen atom.
It's made up out one proton and no neutrons as the centre and one electron orbitting around.
Now if you add one proton and electron, you get in the centre two protons along with two neutrons and two negative charges orbittong in opposite direction around it, an helium atom
I guess nothing new here for most, but if more electrons come into play they orbit further away, till eight electrons fill the next shell and so on.. And every time an outher shell is full you get one of the six noble gasses, who again all react alike eachother.
Like this there are numerous of other rather 'amazing coincidences', not beacuase science made this up, but just because this atom wants to do that, may God know why, and the funny thing eventually is, all seems to be made up of one and the same against some static-ish background called 'vacuum' where magnetic fields and quantum fluctuations also can be very interesting..
There only remains one big empty shelf here, considering time.. Maybe that is the shared dimension, maybe its God or perhaps it isnt even real.. But till proven otherwise the God of the wonders, remains to exist, and there are many wonders..
