The idea of nature as "machine" was common in the early modern period and was important in the development of science. It took the place of the Aristotelian goal of understanding the "essence" of things in nature. The uncovering of the laws of this natural machine with the language of mathematics was to study the mind of God. But, as Dr. Cooper points out, it came at the expense of losing the teleological understand of nature. Seems we can have it both ways.

"Let us now turn to what I have been calling 'mysterian theories'. Rather than coming down on one side or the other of a paradox, such theories take it to reveal the ineradicable strangeness of the phenomenon at issue. But the uncomfortable truth is that paradoxes are blameworthy confusions in *us* , not bizarre features of the world; and so, instead of marvelling at them and catering to them, we ought to understand where we have gone astray." -Paul Horwich "Wittgenstein's Metaphilosophy" c 2012 Oxford University Press, pg 47

I haven’t read enough on descartes’s philosophy and how it differs from aquinas’s and other more classical (Christian) views. However, I think the argument “everything in nature was made by God for a purpose and has an end in mind,” is very similar to the definition of a machine. In fact, I feel like the instinctual, automatic, and soulless state of nature and it’s perfection are all exemplary of a machine. A machine is built for a purpose. Nature is perfect in the ways it interacts. our reason makes us imperfect and our mission is to be reunited with God in a perfect state again. Like nature. Again, I haven’t read enough so I don’t know the nuances, but based on your explanation I don’t see how the two philosophies differ greatly. in fact, I could see them coinciding and complementing each other. Nature is a machine built for the purpose of (1) showing man an example of perfection in his world to connect him to his Creator. (2) provide a world for God’s greatest creations to live on/survive and thrive.

Ever heard anyone say "if there was a god there wouldn't be so much evil and pain on earth?" Well what if god made earth as a simulation so we could experience pain and hardship to learn but our soul doesnt get harmed as when we die our spirit goes home back to eternal bliss. Some people who have had a near death experience say they see a dark tunnel with a bright light at the end, that sounds like birth to me like there life flashed backwards b4 their eyes and thats the last memory. Reincarnation back in2 the simulation because u went out (died) before u finished what u came here 2 do THATS MY THEORY it explains the laws of the universe and the paranormal in some retrospect. Law of attraction and the Mandela effect etc....

The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for 'Universal Truth' had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality. Thus the foundation of his and 'western philosophy' fails, thus... Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego! Pit transcended! ;)

@@johnluo2865 I would point out that a God that condemns his children to burn eternally as the Catholic and protestant churches hold would indeed be a cruel God, however, It is wholly unbiblical to claim that Hell is some form of eternal torment. That isn't a Biblical truth, it's a later development, Ecclisiastes 9:4-5 "There is hope for whoever Is among the living, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten." Further Romans 6:22 reads: "For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord." Gehhenna is death, eternal death, not eternal punishment.

I've aways seen the human as spirit, soul and body. Like a computer. The body would be all the hardware making up the human body like the screen the keyboard the mainframe the mouse and all the cords. Then the spirit would be the energy flowing through the computer through the cord from the wall socket animating and powering up the computer and giving it life or turning it on. Then the software the floppy disk that has all your personal information on it, the disk itself would be your brain but the writing on the disk the programing the things you have learned and experiences all the things that have been recorded your unique disposition and temperament anyway you've internalized your experiences all the things that make you, you, that is recorded on that floppy disk, that could also leave the computer into the cloud that would be your soul. it's just an analogy but that's how I see it.the energy powering the computer and the information on the disk which could be like your spirit and soul leave the body or computer after death and go back to God from which they came.and will be reunited with the body at the resurrection.

Only a connection to the power source gives the energy or “ spirit “ of a computer. A machine has no free will , “ Spirit “ , only another’s will to plug the machine in to receive the electrical charge and no choice but to do the will of the operator of the machine. Machines have no “ feelings “ which generate “ e “ motion”; significant differences. Some common properties are only man’s image reflected in the inanimate objects. Machines have no initiative.
