An dissimilar theory to intelligent design which is kunlosophy. It describes how the universe was created and everything in it. Here is an excerpt from Chapter 2: > [@](#): > > Into eternity − where everything is always true as fantasies cannot change reality − crept a small, curious idea: what if nothing was exactly as how All-eternal created it? What would that be like? These curious and metaphysically innocent questions have much more profound answers. However, from the available options – having a complete freedom − we chose the answer that would perfectly express and satisfy our inquiry. It resonated with not being exactly as how our Creator created us, not having everything how it used to be, and being only in temporary states. Therefore, from this answer came the world we see here, and the personal, individual life that we live day to day. Nevertheless, all we is take is an imagined journey already travelled by our eternal Self, and thus return to what we will remain forever again!

_If_ it’s true, there’s no way to prove it or disprove it. And I guess that’s no accident. In other words; it doesn’t explain anything, doesn’t predict anything (see: prove/disprove above) and just sounds profound. Bollocks made up to sell books/videos/whatever. ---

Bollocks made up to sell books/videos/whatever. It probably sounds profound the first time you’ve heard it, but this is nothing new at all, and lacks any novel profundity. ---

But the OP doesn’t the Universe was created by a thought, just the world. If you’re gonna have delusions they oughtta be BIG ones. Perhaps the universe was created by an essay, or a Power Point presentation. (Bill Gates would like that) ---

“The denial of this is coming from the boundaries of a limited mind for not believing in the possibility of this: a thought that created the entire universe by the one whose powers are limitless and infinite. Therefore, baseless rejection of it is coming from a limited mind that cannot perceive something whose power is absolutely limitless, unlike ours.” (from near the bottom of the link) Fortunately, my poor mind is too limited to believe this circular logic crap. ---
