Somnambulist and The Mind of God and the Teleological Argument for God’s Existence

Today I've included a short poem and the opening paragraph from a philosophical essay I wrote for a Philosophy of Religion course I had taken a few years ago. The poem is entitled "Somnambulist", which refers to one who sleep walks (somnambulism), and I believe is quite fitting for the subject matter.

Somnambulist

by The Sven-Bo! 

I dreamt that I was dreaming while I was awake,

A dream of perfect nothingness

Where you and I locked hands

Looked into one another’s eyes

And whispered something I can’t remember,

But I think I saw you smile

Or did you cry?

I can’t remember

All I see is your perfect eyes

Floating there in some etheric pool of nothingness

When I awoke

I realized that the dream had only just begun

Rolling over,

I stared into your perfect eyes 

In a paper entitled "The Mind of God and the Teleological Argument for God's Existence", I argue that there is indeed evidence for intelligent design in nature, but that this intelligence does not assert the consciousness of God. I cite papers from other philosophers and scientists, including Max Tegmark, Robin Collins, William James Sidis, Alan Snyder, Eric Steinhart, and V. S. Ramachandran, among others, while examined both microscopic components of the human body and juxtaposing them to macroscopic structures in the universe. As always, the full paper may be obtained by request.     

Excerpt from "The Mind of God and the Teleological Argument for God’s Existence":  
The Teleological Argument posits that the presence of purpose, organization, design, and eloquence in nature suggest the existence of an intelligent mind that accounts for their occurrence. The intelligent mind in question is often speculated to be God and the observation of these naturally existing phenomena is cited as evidence of God’s actuality. The argument presented here, however, maintains that the intelligence responsible for the occurrence of these phenomena is essentially a functional attribute of the universe and that it alone does not confirm the consciousness of God. Further, I will attempt to justify the theory that the universe as a whole is a component of the mind of God and that intelligence as a functional attribute of the universe is a consequence of the unconscious intelligence of God. Following from that assertion, I examine whether this intelligence can be inferred as justification for believing in a worshipful deity.
