So, let's say all is pre-designed and pre-determined, and all we are left to do is to find out this intelligent designer's plan for us, to find out our pre-determinded fate, boy, does that make you feel below-human? One would feel like a pre-designed robot, wouldn't he? Will he be disassembled later or will he be thrown into fire to produce a new piece of iron?
Like I said before, accepting an above-all God/intelligent designer is simply a dead end to any human intellectual endeavors. How boring. How depressing.
Your mistake is to think that we are separated from this Intelligent Designer, and there is a "He" outside and beyond each of "us". Of course you would feel boring and depressing. But this is simply not true. I'd think that the path is to find the God in each of us, and to marvel how intelligent we are. And in admiring the design, we are admiring ourselves, and this leads to eternal love. Religions also teach us that we are all God.
I think, knowing that we are the designer and then set out to discover the plan, is the most exciting, inspiring and rewarding human intellectual endeavor one can possibly take.
Why not leave science alone doing what it's been doing in discovering laws in the physical world, and leave religion to the metaphysical adventures in people's mind? Telling scientists what they ought to find is indeed an insult to their intellect.
Only when science recognizes its proper position in the universe, physical and metaphysical, can we leave it alone to do its own discovery. Otherwise science hurts, especially those weak-minded people.
不知道为什么我对今天的科学这么反感。:( 刚才下午跟老板吵架，我说我恨死现在做的科学研究了。
