Self Designed Universe in a nutshell

At the most fundamental level all we need to explain the 'evolution' of the universe and of every system within including the system of species on earth is what the physicists call four basic forces or interactions of nature, i.e., gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions. All else is secondary.

The universe gets wound up into and unwound from four basic forces (finally into and from one superforce) on its eternal cycles of contraction and expansion or involution and evolution just as, to a certain extent, a tree gets wound up into and unwound from its seed to become the next tree.

In getting unwound, which begins with and thanks to the big bang, or to the superforce of the big bang, the universe goes through four basic interactions in the order of gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak as a whole, at every sub-system level, eventually at every minute space-time accretion.

In the process the universe goes through mutations at all these levels, from which then Darwinian mechanisms of variations, selection and survival take over in the case of species on earth. Forget that chance causes mutations.

So no more heated arguments on design and evolution or rather Design and Darwinism! Both are two sides of the same coin of the universal scheme of evolution everywhere as well as here on earth. The universe's going through four basic interactions and consequent mutations provide it with basic and Design part. Taking over from there by Darwinian mechanisms of variations, selection and survival in the case of species provides it with the secondary and evolution part.

No more heated arguments on Determinism and Free will! The universe's going through four basic interactions till it gets unwound from four basic forces completely provides it with purpose, determinism and arrow of time. While Darwinian mechanism of natural selection etc provides scope for the operation of the correspondingly gained free will on it in the case of species on earth. (Correspondingly gained means with our going through each interaction we gain due free will over the force representing that interaction; with our passing through gravitational interaction in our childhood or pre-youth time we gain corresponding free will over gravity, we can move wherever we wish, we can jump, run etc; same goes for all interactions).

Sorry man, you are as much a product of the same simple laws of physics in the form of four basic interactions as minerals, plants, animals and in fact all the other entities in the universe are. All you did with your famous free will is just to play the reaction part to the action part of the interactions. Again, in fact, just as all the other entities unconsciously or subconsciously did or do at their own levels! Of course you need to re-apprise your understanding of the mere matter which you study with physics, for, at its ultimate level of Oneness, it has all the properties which you usually attribute to 'God.'
