1. There is not a single trace of any planning going on in the universe. This is why planning is not an alternative.
2. Wisdom is a quality ascribed to something. Science sees no wisdom in anything. I CHOOSE to make this ascription, this is what my religion is all about, it's about my self-identity, and my choices. As Zarathushtra says our RELIGION should be. He was the first existentialist and the first ethicist in history. The world is Ahura whether we like it or not, we then ASCRIBE Mazda to this Ahura, which is why we celebrate not Ahura but Ahura Mazda.
3. The second law of thermodynamics works within a CLOSED universe. But hardly any physicists anymore believe there is only one universe. Far more likely is that universes come and go, or rather expand out from one another into new universes. What is important however to us as Zoroastrians is that there is something rather than nothing, so even if this something is in a state of entropy, it is still there and it is not a nothing.

Dear Alexander,
You praise the universe for its self-organization, so you like to call it wise.
Is there a scientific basis of your belief? Let me remind you of some facts:
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy of an isolated system (is our universe isolated?) increases. This is an irreversible process and practically means that the total amount of disorder in the universe is increasing. This is extremely important as this law shows the direction of time. An ice cube melts but water never becomes ice cube on its own! That's why we cannot go back in time, since we would break this law.
Copying from wikipedia: It currently seems that the ultimate reason for a preferred time direction is that the universe as a whole was in a highly ordered state at its very early stages, shortly after the big bang.
Life "contradicts" this law by decreasing its entropy. This differentiate life from other forms of matter organization. Of course there is no real contradiction as living organisms are not isolated systems, so the total entropy or the universe still increases.
We should be more careful on these subjects.
I also cannot understand why Ahura/God cannot be both wise & planner. These are human concepts/words that do not necessarily apply to Ahura/God. A God is not limited to human ideas, so please be careful when applying human attributes to God.
Ushta,
George

Dear Alex, here is a trifle example my creation and tribute to VACUUM. I’m an author of great amount of poems that are close to your ideas, especially to NETOCRACY. And I want you to be acquainted with them. Please, give me your i-mail, where I can send you in privacy (not for all other net users) I’m real fabric of different ideas and thoughts. It’s very important for me!!! I’m very responsive person! Send your answer on ‘prototype2004@gmail.com”.
I’ll be waiting for your news!
ARMY OF LOVERS’ CLONES are as French résistance. French communist Michael romances with positive lad from positive French Gestapo. Local stripper Sarah is busy worker. Female Polizei is in jealousy. Unhonest Owner of Milk Factory is only one negative person. There is no blood and horrors in the story that is the result of mobilistic philosophy. Do you want Whole Clip script, Alex? And what about the Romanovs and The communists who live in complete peace or BWO, VACCUUM and ARMY OF LOVERS members as heroes of fancy tales?
PS there may be some silliness in my first commentary. I was shy that time. It’s my explanation…
