The "Manifesto of Creation" was declared at the "8th International Congress on Creation in the Light of Science"!
The "8Ith International Congress on Creation in the Light of Sciences", hosted by Üsküdar University and organized in cooperation with TÜBİTAK between October 24-26, 2024 with the main theme of "Holistic Approach to Creation", has ended. Scientists participating in the congress published a 'Manifesto of Creation'. In the manifesto, which was opened to the public for signature, it was emphasized that a sufficient level of evidence has been reached that the existence of the universe is conscious and designed.
The following is stated in the manifesto:
“We, as the ones who prepared this Creation Manifesto, declare with holistic scientific evidence that the Necessary Being (Vacib-ul Vucud) who has infinite, absolute knowledge, will, power and wisdom complies with the concept of Tawhid (Allah) expressed in the Holy Qur’an.
The "8th International Congress on Creation in the Light of Sciences", hosted by Üsküdar University and organized in cooperation with TÜBİTAK between October 24-26, 2024 with the main theme of "Holistic Approach to Creation", has ended.
In the congress, which lasted for 3 days with more than 100 participants from 5 countries, 84 presentations were made in 24 sessions. In the 'Manifesto of Creation' published by the participating scientists after the congress held at Üsküdar University NP Health Campus Ibni Sina Auditorium, it was emphasized that sufficient evidence level was reached that the existence of the universe was conscious and designed.
The most fundamental philosophical and scientific question in human history...
In manifesto which begins with “As scientists participating in the VIII. International Creation Congress in the Light of Sciences held on October 24-26, 2024, at Üsküdar University in Istanbul, we deem it appropriate—even necessary—to declare a "Creation Manifesto". We believe that scientific data and mathematical proofs have now reached a sufficient level of evidence indicating that the existence of the universe is purposeful and designed,” it was pointed out that the most fundamental philosophical and scientific question in human history is why and how the first existence of the universe happened and why and how life began.
There are two opinions: Existence based on chance and existence based on conscious design...
In the manifesto, which points out that there are two views on this subject, namely existence based on chance and existence based on conscious design, “If one perspective can be proven impossible, the correctness of the other is understood through the method of reasoning (Reductio ad absurdum). By this argument we first ask, “how and why would an unthinking, unconscious nature produce an intelligent, conscious human being?” Second, scientific findings prompt us to question the probability of self-existence of decision-making algorithms found in nature. The logic of these algorithms resembles the Fuzzy logic of artificial intelligence—a logic we’ve only recently understood. Such sophisticated algorithms cannot be attributed to an unintelligent process of evolution. These two perspectives have different interpretations, both scientifically and philosophically.."
The Impossibility of Accidental Existence
In the manifesto, in which both views were compared and an answer to the question was sought by mathematical proof by explaining them with reasoning methods, the following is stated:
“The Impossibility of Accidental Existence view suggests that the universe emerged through natural processes and an accumulation of random events. According to the Big Bang theory, the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old, - although the recent data received from the Webb telescope suggests the universe might have appeared around 26.7 billion years ago -and expanded within the framework of physical laws. Therefore, before the Big Bang, there should not have been either time or matter, but a reality beyond time and space. The main arguments of the accidental existence view can be refuted one by one through proof by contradiction.”
The impossibility of natural selection...
In the Manifesto, which points to the thesis of Natural Selection, it is stated that “The thesis explains the development and diversification of life forms through mutations and selection. However, while a child is in the zygote (the first cell consisting of half of the mother's and father's DNA) state in the womb, the child begins to move in the embryo in eight weeks. In the tenth week, the fetus period begins and the limbs become apparent. The mother's womb grows upwards by one centimeter every week. Birth occurs after forty (40) weeks. It is a mandatory law that the amino acids in DNA always grow by making the right decisions. There should be no random mutations in this process, otherwise the child cannot be healthy. Therefore, it is known that in this planned, systematic, fine-tuned, regular, measured and calculated growth that occurs in all mammals, mutation is very rare and produces negative results. Therefore, the “proof method using the opposite” shows the impossibility of natural selection and that selection must be conscious, not random.”
The vastness of the universe and the length of time...
Referring to the Primitive Conditions and the Thesis of Large Numbers, the Manifesto noted the following:
“Given the vastness of the universe and the length of time, the chance of accidental formation of complex structures like life is suggested. When the developmental stages proven by scientific observations and experiments based on natural processes operating within the framework of physical laws are considered with the "Modal reasoning method", the occurrence of the right conditions is a very low probability situation according to the mathematical proof method. As probabilities like 1050 are accepted impossible, considering the vastness of the universe it is impossible for these probabilities to occur according to mathematical reasoning. Despite the size of the universe and the length of time, the emergence of a living work from inanimate DNA throughout three weeks in the spring every year by always making the right decisions without any mutation indicates an absolute consciousness as a necessary being.”
There is an order that operates according to the 'Laws of Cybernetics'
In the Manifesto, it is stated that the universe has a complex structure in which the laws of nature operate in harmony, and it is discussed whether this order will emerge spontaneously or as a result of a design according to the "General Systems Theory", the following remarks are made: “ In systems theory everything is composed of small, interrelated parts, but is considered as a whole that functions as part of a larger system. There is an order that operates according to the “Laws of Cybernetics”. Cybernetics is the branch of science that examines the control and management of all complex systems, living and non-living. The laws of cybernetics require the existence of an administrator. The design-based view of existence, which argues that the universe and life were designed not by chance but by a conscious mind, is the mandatory option according to mathematical reasoning.”
"When we look at the universe using the faculty of theory of mind, it is imperative that there must be a being with absolute wisdom"
In the statement, it was noted that the theory of having the faculty of the Theory of Mind could not be explained by the view of accidental existence, and the following remarks were made: Unlike other living beings, humans have the ability to produce hypotheses. Metacognitive neurogenetic tendencies such as “searching for meaning, seeking novelty, time awareness, desire for eternity and the presence of the perception of death” are unique to humans. When humans abandon their mental attitude and abandon themselves to nature, they become identical to animals. Therefore, when humans are interested in the universe, they have the ability to look not only at the universe but also at the meaning behind it. Science explains how the universe works very well, but sciences that are based on meaning need to derive theoretical meanings. We observe that many people with the ability of the theory of mind and see this truth cannot express this due to their positivist mental attitude and dogmatic scientific prejudice. When we look at the universe using the ability of the theory of mind, there must be a being (Necessary Being) who has great and absolute knowledge, absolute will, absolute power and absolute wisdom.”
"The universe is the product of a higher consciousness and a superior owner, which is the ‘Divine Will’ seems mandatory."
In the Manifesto, it is pointed out that the feature that distinguishes human consciousness from the animal is the presence of "self-consciousness" and the following is stated: “The accidental existence hypothesis remains silent on consciousness, as creating consciousness from matter is akin to creating something from nothing. Our skin changes completely in twenty days; after six months all the cells in our body change, but our consciousness, which is like the IP of a computer, does not change at all. Consciousness is a phenomenon that is very difficult to explain with accidental processes and is specific to humans. The design argument argues that the existence of consciousness is the work of a designer. The deductive reasoning method points to the existence of conscious beings, the necessary existence of a higher consciousness and conscious design as evidence. The idea that the universe is the product of a higher consciousness and a superior owner, which is the ‘Divine Will’ seems mandatory.”
“From the first cell to the most advanced living beings, we observe that cooperation is the basic and struggle is the exception”
According to the thesis of 'life is a struggle', it was noted in the Manifesto that life came into being by chance and was a struggle, the strong lived, and the absent lost the struggle and perished.
“When we look at living beings from the first cell to the most advanced living beings, we observe that cooperation is the basic and struggle is the exception. The strong lion and the big dinosaur did not spread all over the world. The fact that dinosaurs had large armor, but small brains caused them not to adapt. In the universe, not the strong but those who adapt according to their genetic codes live. However, adaptation is possible for a purpose. According to "induction", which is a method of understanding all from singular events, the balance of living together in nature refutes the thesis that life is a struggle. Because according to the law of homeostasis (balance), there is a subtle harmony, competition does not disrupt the balance. Life is harmony according to a purpose. The purpose must be in accordance with the Divine Will.”
“The most reasonable option for the purpose of the world’s existence is the dialectic of the test.”
In the Manifesto, which also draws attention to the Problem of Evil and the Dialectic of Exams, the following is stated: “Materialist science tries to explain the purpose of man with the pleasure principle. Unlike other living beings, man is the only being who can act purposefully, think freely, question existence, and think abstractly, conceptually and symbolically. It cannot be scientifically said that there is no life after death. Man, also questions why evil exists. He has free will. In order for free will to exist, there must also be the freedom to do evil. The freedom to do evil, to make mistakes and wrong decisions indicates the existence of a test. The mathematical reasoning method, which is “proof by contradiction”, results in “accountability”. The fact that man can do evil is a contradiction. Therefore, according to holistic science, the most reasonable option for the purpose of the world’s existence is the dialectic of the test.”
“The only reality in the world without exception is death”
Stating that "The only reality in the world without exceptions is death," in the Manifesto, the following is stated: “The existence of programmed cell deaths has directed science to the field of seeking a cure for death. According to the theory of mind, death signals a deeper meaning other than our life. Creating such a perfect order and then destroying it is impossible according to the Abduction Reasoning method. Abduction, a scientific discovery method, shows the strongest result according to the conditions at hand. Diseases are diagnosed with this method. It is not fair for those who do evil to get away with it and die without paying the price. According to the working cybernetic laws, those who do evil must pay the price. On the other hand, the neurogenetic tendency of the desire for eternity that exists in all people necessitates an eternal life according to the abduction causality principle. Therefore, there should be a second birth, that is, resurrection. We can say ‘The Creator wanted to give. So, He gave the sense of wanting’.”
“The existence of One with conscious will, that is a Necessary Being (Vacib-ul Vucud**), is mandatory”
In the Manifesto, it is also pointed out that the Law of Entropy necessitates the external will, and the following is stated: “Entropy is the law of energy and is the second law of thermodynamics. The universe goes from order to disorder in an orderly manner. According to this course, the universe will end with heat death. According to this law, there is no darkness, but the absence of light; there is no cold, but the absence of heat. A sensitive, fine-tuned and calculated support with continuous heat and light is required. This law pushes a person with the theory of mind competence to seek meaning. The theory of mind competence is a function of the mirror neurons in the human brain. If there is no external control and regulator, entropy increases, and order is disrupted in the universe. The existence of One with conscious will is necessary, that is a Necessary Being (Vacib-ul Vucud**), who is outside of space and time, who created the first existence, established perfect laws and administered these laws every moment, is mandatory.
The results of the ‘Creation 'Manifesto’, which was also opened for signature...
The results of the ‘Creation Manifesto’, which was also opened to the public for signature, were listed as follows:
Scientific Explanations: Scientific observations and physical laws provide evidence for the impossibility of accidental existence and point to the validity of design in explaining the origin and development of the universe. However, the scientific model points to methods of reasoning for the ultimate questions, such as "Why is there nothing rather than something? Why does this universe exist?"
Four paths to truth include: observation, reasoning, rational intuition, and rational belief.
The Conscious Design View offers an alternative explanation for the origin of complexity, consciousness, and order in the universe and also answers moral or metaphysical questions.
The concept of God (Deity): The Conscious Design View defends a “Creator outside of time and space as a Necessary Being (Vacib-ul Vucud)” while trying to explain phenomena such as the existence of order and consciousness in the universe. It explains existence with an Absolute Will having the characteristics of an external will that knows, sees, manages and controls everything.
We, as the ones who prepared this Creation Manifesto, declare with holistic scientific evidence that the Necessary Being (Vacib-ul Vucud) who has infinite, absolute knowledge, will, power and wisdom complies with the concept of Tawhid (Allah) expressed in the Holy Qur’an.”
