Universal intelligence!

The harmony of natural law...reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.

The World As I See It

I recently watched one of the most extraordinary yet interesting movies of all time, "The Man Who Knew Infinity", a movie centering on the famous Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Ramanujan only noted the results and summaries of his works; no proof was worked out for the formulae he came up with, and when he was asked to prove them, he replied that " there's no use of proving them, it's already present!". Even though it was just a common thing, but it left me thinking for days!

Well, we can divide people into two groups, the first who believe that human intelligence is the result of natural evolution and that nature or the universe has nothing resembling consciousness or intelligence.

While the other believe the existence of a greater consciousness or intelligence, which is way greater than any human intelligence, limitless in its scope and endlessly surprising in its details.

Universal Intelligence is a term used to describe the organization or order of the universe. It has been described as "the intrinsic tendency for things to self-organize and co-evolve into ever more complex, intricately interwoven and mutually compatible forms."

Too complex I guess:!

In simple words, it's just another term to express the religious idea about the existence of a superior consciousness like 'god', but not as a matter of blind faith or religious fervor. It is a conclusion based on observation of physical evidence. We can see our surroundings, everything we have near us, does it seem logical to think that everything in the universe is the result of mere random selection or "luck"? Is it possible that it's "luck" that a bird's wing is perfectly designed for flight – right down to the tiniest pinfeather? Is it a mere coincidence that organisms in this universe could evolve perfectly, changing themselves physically and chemically, so perfectly and so we're now as humans? Is it just "chance" that the entire universe is created and that too with such minute perfection everywhere?

To think that the universe is devoid of the intelligent organization is like thinking that the Great Pyramids of Giza were the result of an accidental rock slide. 

I wonder, could any random action of rock sliding can ever create the Pyramids or the Boeing 747? Then how could it be just by chance that the wings of a bird or the complex hormones directing every action of every organism are created by just a 'by-chance!

Just as it takes human intelligence to create and maintain the architectural wonders, it took intelligence to create the natural "wonders" which surround us, including the organic robot with the capacity of self-replicating and 'minimal level of intelligence'  called human!

Human intelligence is nothing compared to it. Like, we're not even eligible to create a biotic man till now, imagine designing the complex order of the universe – it hasn't yet even begun to understand a tiny part of it!  Since, there's something that has designed everything, that "something" is what we call Universal Intelligence. We don't know what it is, where it came from, what its intent is, or even if there is an intent involved. We know only that it must exist – or nothing else would!

This idea lead to the foundation of the chiropractic philosophy with the first principle of the 33 Chiropractic Principles as “The Major Premise” – A Universal Intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence. 

Back to Ramanujan's case, well if we go through the above arguments, it's definite that every knowledge we have, everything that is created by a human being from life-saving drug to destructive hydrogen bombs is already designed, the human being is just rediscovering the ways to create. Everything we invented was already present way before we came, and whatever we're going to invent in the future, will merely be another great 'discovery' by the human race!
