As I view it and understand it, it seems to be as follows; Creationism suggest God, Divinity and an all powerful Creator who created the Universe and all that is in it and the various religions with the their prophets, Guru's and founders interpreted the message from Divinity as they perceived it or by the 'very hand of God so to speak'.
Darwinism suggests that there is no God or intelligent design in the Universe there simply was basic elementary 'bits' of something, some theories say an elementary plasma and many other such theories abound and these by some means 'bumped, collided and coalesced' by this interaction somehow by chemistry, alchemy or some other means either formed the so called 'Cosmic Soup' whereupon the first cells emerged and by the same process of if you like self taught trial and error, the survival of the fittest came to the fore and the building blocks then grew through the evolution and growth and a kind of self expansion and evolution which had NO intelligent Command or Directive, it merely was and looked like an informed intelligence but was mimicking intelligence simply because expediency and efficiency dictated survival, as to how the 'FIRST LIFE' to the first soup or pre ingredients came the answer was it has no cause or intelligence and like the Big Bang it was an accident.

My take on this is that an accident has to have a cause, who caused the Big Bang---answer no one, no intelligence, a freak accident, spontaneous and for no rhyme or reason---OK I am ignorant and do not understand this and feel uncomfortable with this. So the whole Universe is an accident and a freak chance and there are some theories which state that chaotic randomness by per chance produce out of the chaos a semblance of order, still missing the vital point of something comes from nothing, which will be explained later.
Now in Intelligent Design states there was and is A Directing Intelligence, the other side say this hints at God, the Intelligent Design say 'no' it merely means there was a directing Intelligence and not a non directed intelligence and that the 'interrelationships' of the accidental or elemental appearances of basic 'soup' 'plasma' 'some goo' began to form itself of itself with no inherent intelligent information or guidance, by their interfacing and 'rubbing' together they found the way to survive, was there any instinct or awareness as to their self learning or their own unique evolution?
There was a nature programme on the TV in which a famous well respected presenter said about a monkey species;
The aye-aye's super-elongated digits. It uses the thin middle finger to fish grubs out of hollow trees and bamboo, but if injured it will switch to the fourth (ring) finger. Indeed, scientists initially thought it was a rodent.20 Sep 2013
The
presenter went on to say that the monkey saw the grubs and tried to get them out
and so in the course of time the fingers grew long because of constant
effort. It is seen that miners who were
bent double in early day excavation of tunnels grew to have hunch backs and some barefoot
mountain climbers developed toes to accommodate their grip, but on retirement
their toes resorted to nearly ‘normal’ the monkeys kept their limbs throughout,
the case for they were born like it through intelligent design and not through
random self taught no intelligence presents itself here and so on.

In the case of the Big Bang or random spontaneous self taught evolution, it surmises that the early primordial ingredients were inert, inorganic, unintelligent and had no reason or cause for being there. Then came the fact they began to 'realise' 'sense' become aware by instinct that seemed to be intelligent (as some regards animals) and by association with their 'other components' and in some theories heat came from out there somewhere a chemical interaction was formed, where did the heat come from; some say the fact of compression, layers upon layers, others say from the Cosmos the other components from the Big Bang all accidental and with no reason or directive. So Intelligence CAME as a by product of this interaction and is carried on by some scientist today as intelligence and consciousness is merely the electrical fluctuations in the brain, nothing more or less.
Now to be fair the Intelligent Design say 'yes there is an Information Intelligent Delivery Directive but they have this problem as to 'where this Information Intelligence Directive' originates from, they merely state it exists as nowadays 2020, DNA, Neuroscience is demonstrating amazing revelations but also has no 'First Life' suggestions it merely states there was and is an Intelligence at work in evolution and has a cause is not an accident and is not by per chance and to my mind the five extinctions show some examples of this;
The big five mass extinctions
· The big five mass extinctions. ...
· Late Devonian, 375 million years ago, 75% of species lost. ...
· End Permian, 251 million years ago, 96% of species lost. ...
· End Triassic, 200 million years ago, 80% of species lost. ...
· End Cretaceous, 66 million years ago, 76% of all species lost.
Some feel we are the brink of the Sixth.
It is interesting that after some of the extinctions new forms of life appeared as if by magic and a few palaeontologists are now discovering along with archaeologists and so on, and those not been threatened by academia to not break the 'politically, atheistic, theistic model' are revealing many old concepts of Darwinism to be consistent with his findings, as are quantum and astrobiologists with astronomers finding out more about the Universe but being muzzled.
Now to come to 'No Mind'; In contemplating the above I have to come back to several points. If we are an accident then for what purpose and reason for us to live and for the logical sane person who may have looked and pondered such, may ask what is the reason for living, according to some scientists its because of the 'intelligent gene' the urge to survive and propagate and procreate, just an urge and no intelligence but an instinct to survive, no God, no reason just random synchronicity millions years gone by. Going further into this we may then delve further into this mystery; when I was born I was given a stamp which is my name, then followed a sequence of stamps, my faith, my religion, my culture and my country, I realised I could have been anyone of the others 'stamps'. My parents and their parents passed on these indelible imprints in my mind and unless I seriously questioned or examined them I spent my whole life on fixed rails with perhaps a few excursions here and there and I could come to the conclusion I have been living a conditioned, programmed brain washed life. What then if I stripped away my reality based on brain washing and went into someone else's 'Stamps' and found the same dilemma? I may find myself without a reality and as such and furthermore no real identity.

Based on the above I arrive at a undefined nowhere place and scary; the result could be depression, escape into may wordily hedonistic distractions, madness and perhaps suicide and say well it would had been better if I stayed in the Stamp Collection and travelled on the rail lines, at least I had psychological safety of some sorts. Where does this fit in with the ism's above. It discards Intelligent design, Creationism, Darwinism and all else, for these are all 'Stamps' from the Academic / Theistic / Political /
New Age, it merely says these are ideas and mechanisation's that are of the era and modus operandi and modus vivendi of the year and at, of the century and epoch.
The to come to God; since God is unseen and Intelligent Design may be appropriate to many a folk and gives a reason to be living and follow the laws and some may follow nature and see that there seems to be a plan and so there maybe many natural reasons to live. Having children, family, power, wealth a celebrity and so on, yet these can be self sufficient until one realises there frailty, growing old, accidents, disease and go into the black hole as above or just psyche oneself up by any means. One can then start the questioning as above and arrive at who am I really?
Perhaps on examining 'the bunch of no minds' one can arrive at in any means as above and others not mentioned then begin to examine this 'no mind' and should one go either gently or head long into the seeming dark abyss of nothing, no mind, no reason, accident or not, discarding any opinion and so called learned Guru, master, philosopher, priest, scientist and truly becomes aware of the emptiness caused by the vacation of the Stamps, and one has stripped or peeled away the identifying layers of do's and don'ts, the rigid stultifying programmes that breed wars, antagonisms, hate, cruelty, imposed so called political correctness, hunger, starvation, austerity and now social engineering not allowing discussion or views that are contrary to so called authoritarian dictates, then one arrives at not a sterile, boring, vacuum of no existence, hopelessness, but to the surprise and somewhat delight there is a warm welcoming presence, an alive bright joyfulness, a kind of non emotional emotion, one has arrived nowhere in the world of materialism yet still in the flesh capsule however the is a No Mind that is not barren nor fallow but rather fulfilling with nothing to fulfil it and all those stamps and postulations are laid to rest and lets the academics, God, priests, atheists, politicians and who else is concerned in this scenario and fits the bill so to speak go their way in peace and one feels compassion, care without specifically caring, one does not hoard or seek power for these are things temporal and impermanent, one becomes naturally kind and sharing, moral in the respect of respect, dignity of being human and then 'is blown by the wind' and grows like the tree and all of the above is allowed to go on its way and the No Mind goes nowhere in particular and yet is so fulfilled to be nowhere and it is strange how it is so unquestioning about Intelligence or Not for there is the Mind be it however it got there or whether it was created or not for the No Mind is content to be----can one live with his.
I may have given the impression I am free of 'My Stamps' who ever may read this be assured that I peeling back the layers of my 'Stamp Album' my almanac and it is not so scary and daunting and this gives me a reason to live; why so because the journey to stripping away the stamps reveals to me my true self and who I really am, if of course I an am and really exists at the end of the journey. I feel there is no end it is an on going process and as such the so called 'me' maybe an illusion and after all of this I maybe nothing like the No Mind-----believe it not I can live with that comfortably.
