ย If your software crashes, you blame the logic, not the air it runs on. Why do we do the opposite with existence?
Body: We love to celebrate human brilliance in the marketplace. We praise the data architect who visualizes complex patterns, or the engineer who optimizes a failing pipeline. We call them "brilliant."
But thereโs a massive philosophical bluff happening in modern intellect. We use the very tools given to us logic, consciousness, mathematical consistency to argue against the One who established the parameters for those tools to exist.
Philosopher Alvin Plantinga argued this brilliantly through Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism (EAAN): If our minds are merely the product of random, unguided evolutionary survival, we have zero logical reason to trust our cognitive faculties to deliver objective truth. Weโd only trust them to get us food and keep us alive.
Yet, we trust our minds to map the cosmos and build global tech stacks.
To say God doesnโt exist while boasting about human intellect is like a software program claiming it wrote the hardware it runs on. You didn't invent your consciousness; you inherited it. You didnโt create the laws of physics that make your computing possible; you discovered them.
Before we boast about what our hands built today, letโs look at the raw material. The marketplace is a subset of a much larger System. It doesn't make sense to kick the Root Developer out of the workspace. systemorecosystem.com
