What do you think of Cosmic Ordering?

It may or may not be true, but it has nothing to do with "Astronomy & Space".  If you post this in "Spirituality", folks might take it more seriously.

1.  Great place to start and understand the universe.\n2.  Nice "simple" version of # 1.\n3.  It's a classic and not useless at all, but it contains information that is outdated now (not necessarily wrong, just not inclusive of the future).\n4.  Most of his books I consider to be very simple and for general audiences.\n5.  Parallel universes might not exist - I haven't read this!

It is inherent in our nature as conscious, rational beings to contemplate the order of the world and our place within that order.\nThat is why we ask.

i always placed them in order i got them...from the top down...some placed them in order of importance to them..of course if some one won state that would be the first!! but mine was a M

Yes.\n\nSome one had to actively create the universe, because a system left on its own would become more chaotic and that's not the case since we have evolution which is creating more order out of things.

Take into consideration the billions of stars in this galaxy. Then take into consideration the billions of galaxies in the local cluster. Then take into consideration the billions of clusters in the local supercluster. Then take into consideration the billions of superclusters in the local segment of the wall. Then take into consideration the billions of segments in the Great Wall. Then take into consideration the billions of walls in the Universe. It's even possible there's more than one universe! \n\nWhat do you believe? I think there is life out there. But are they sentient and advanced? Maybe. Maybe not.

No I think that the alignment of the universe can answer and solve many questions and problems ,Great mathematicians have done this for Centuries and you would be amazed at there predictions and preciseness

Yes, it's something like "New World Order".\n\nCORRECTION: "A New Order of the Ages" is what it means.\n\nSo, basically the same thing.

Look what others think about this and try to find a convincing solution.\nBut if u ask my opinion This whole system of orders cant be a coincidence.There must be a Creator. I looked to three big one  god religions The most convincing one for me was Islam. But as  I told no one can give you the answer you must find yourown.\nGoodLuck :)

The universe has been shown to be decaying.  It is going from an orderly state to a disorderly state.  This is called entropy.\n\nThere is no known natural force or law in the universe that reverses this.  On a small scale, we can see that our intelligence reverses disorder temporarily.\n\nTherefore, on a universal scale, there must be an intelligence (obviously an intelligence far beyond ours) with the power to set the universe in order to start with.  These are two of the attributes of God.\n\nSo, yes, order in the universe is a proof of God.\n\n-------------------------\n\nTo address some flaws in a previous answer's argument:\n\nThe "Laws of nature" are just another way of saying "the rules of order."  And like any procedure, someone makes the rules.  Like a basketball game, there could be any set of rules, but the ones that are used are what distinguish it from being a hockey game.  And these rules were decided upon by intelligent beings.\n\nAlso, it is not true that all things must lead to infinite regression.  Infinite regression is only one possibility; the other is infinite existence -- in other words, God.

I like physics. thats how the universe is formed. it is god languge. Most physicist got to know god and his wonders through physics.Physics is the language of the universe. Aliens if there is any can understand physics. Maths is the mother of physics.

The cosmos is thought of as an orderly or harmonious system. It originates from a Greek term meaning order.\n\nWhen used as an absolute, the term cosmos is considered to be all that exists, whether it has been discovered or not. Some theologians use the term to denote the created universe, not including God. Many philosophers use the word "absolute", cosmos and universe synonymously to include all that exists. Physicists often use the word universe in a technical way, referring to a space-time continuum; see cosmology.\n\nThe term is used in phenomenology to describe the view of the world up until the rise of technology in the 20th century. The view of cosmos as "nature as self-sufficient, self-governing body" is in sharp contrast to the view of nature as merely mechanism for the growth of humans. In the cosmos world view, man is a part of nature, whereas in the mechanism world view, man dominates nature, it in turn bends to his will.\n\nThe philosopher Ken Wilber uses the term kosmos to refer to all of manifest existence, including various realms of consciousness. The term kosmos is used to distinguish this nondual universe (which, on his view, includes both noetic and physical aspects) from the strictly physical universe that is the concern of the traditional ("narrow") sciences and which is widely associated with the term cosmos.

It does seem a tad arrogant, doesn't it? But it's a long-established tradition, and the name will likely remain unchanged.\n\nPersonally, I'm waiting for the Inter-Galactic Series.

Stephen Hawking gives many theories abt the unverse in "a brief history of time". \n\nIf we accept the no boundaries preposition, ie the universe has no boundaries, neither in space nor in time, then there is no space for god anywhere.\n\nIf we accept the theory of multiple universes, ie there are a very large number of universes, and in each of them separate laws of physics apply, then God has gotta be out of the whole system, because how can he be in just one universe, and ignore the rest(unless each universe has its own god, but the how will they coordinate??)

I read in Time a few years back that in an article, scientists explained a theory that universes connect as a chain, and our Universe- is among many. The idea was quite something to read and of course the diagrams and images they used to portray this thing out was all very fascinating to say the least. It was a rational idea even to me and considering what we found with a pin tip portion of the night sky magnified 1,300 times....hundreds of thousands of Galaxy's all clustered in an array that almost seemed like you are looking at it all through a cylinder. \nSo there is no real way to know for certain, but there could be millions of them...and a chain of universes makes rational sense.

I ponder that a lot sometimes, when I get completely overwhelmed by the pace of my life and the obsessive narcissism of people.\nI have this little 'shoe-box' theory: We are really at a loss to begin explaining exactly HOW BIG the universe actually is, so we may as well just be this compact galaxy, stuck at the back of somebodys wardrobe in another space and time.\nYes, I'm a weirdo...

Either answer would be wrong.  The universe came first.
