But for Engineers/Scientists there is no use in a discussion of whether God was intelligent or not by installing exactly these laws of nature as we know them: they are facts! Whether nature - without guidance (see remark below) - could have achieved this is an open question.

Guidance: Think of a god, that is able to install &quot;meta-laws-of-nature&quot;, that is a set of rules, that define the interactions of all natural laws (kown and unknown to us!). The existance of such a god is not in conflict with science - simply because it does not play any role in normal science. But when we come closer to philosophy we have to consider this idea. DNA-analyses have shown a significant similarity between rats, mice, humans, apes, pigs, whales,... of the active genetic codes, so we (humans) share with them far than 90%! With _any_ of them! No Lie.

With some even more than 98%. 

But what about paternity tests, do they rey on this slight margin on 1%-5%? No! They rely on the abundanly presence of non-coding regions. Only about 10%-20% of our DNA is really (or let&#039;s reformulate that: directly) encoding our Genes. There are regions in the DNA that are - what? : scratch pads,  arbitrary base sequences or whatever? What we found out is this: 

The parents modify these non-coding regions and they are inherited by the children. Every parent has a distinguishable pattern that is encoded, not necessarily in the same region - we have thousands regions to imprint our pattern(s).

So, is God necessary for science? I don&#039;t think so, because the laws of physics are enough to guide us.]]></description>
