So everything would be chaotic randomness without intelligent design? Our universe follows very precise rules and laws to function as it does. This doesn't mean that there are not an infinite number of other universes that follow an infinite number of different rules and laws.
We could be just a random universe of an infinite number, and we could be just a random life form of billions that have come and gone on our planet.
You speak of God as if he is removed outside of our universe to create it, so why do you define the lack of randomness only within our universe?

Well I guess I'm keeping the definition of God down to the OP's view for the sake of the topic, but your idea is so generalized that I fail to see a need to call it anything at all, or just call it the universe.
So you do believe in infinite randomness capabilities outside our universe even though our single universe has very define processes and laws, so once again why is there a God needed in all this to happen?

You are incorrect. See this Proof of Genesis 1 and John 1 by the numbers. The link you added uses weak logic and you keep confusing English with Hebrew.
The evaluation of p from within Genesis 1:1
The Bible's first verse comprises 7 Hebrew words formed from a total of 28 letters. Hitherto, attention has focused particularly on the sums of the word CVs in total and in part. Now, however, it is the word and letter products that occupy centre stage. Observe that, although each word CV is the sum of its letter CVs, the product of the latter bears no clear and obvious relationship to the former. Essential features of this analysis involve the two verse ratios
(product of letter CVs) / (product of word CVs) = R1, say, and
(number of letters) / (number of words) = R2, say
Writing the product (R1 x R2) in standard mathematical form, an accurate value for p is revealed.
I gave you this link...
The evaluation of e from within John 1:1
The number of words in this verse is 17, comprising a total of 52 letters.
Again, writing the product (R1 x R2) in standard mathematical form, an accurate value for e is revealed.
John 1 Here.
If you bothered to read the first link above, you would see this:
Let us briefly recap:
The Hebrew letters and words of the Old Testament and the Greek letters and words of the New Testament each have an uncontrived numerical dimension (the CV, or "characteristic value") that arises directly from their involvement in the alphabetic numbering systems of these early peoples.
The application of a simple numerical procedure to the Hebrew letters and words of the Bible's first verse (Gen.1:1) generates an approximation of p, correct to 5 significant figures (error: 0.0012%).
The application of the identical procedure to the first verse of the Gospel of John (which has much in common with Gen.1:1) generates an approximation of e, also correct to 5 significant figures (error: 0.0011%).
It would be extremely unreasonable to suppose that these events are fortuitous accidents; rather, highly likely that they are features of purposeful design.
The circumstantial evidence, viz the textual and geometrical links between these verses, strongly confirms this view.

I would need to be preaching something other than Christ for this to be true. I am showing, with every post, that Christ is the Son of God and Word. The Father is the Aleph Bet (Strong House) and the Holy Spirit is the Aleph Mem (Mother). The Trinity of Christian Faith is stated at a deeper level. This may cause you fear, but it is not, on any level, different than what is stated in the Bible. It is the same theology you know, but deeper by a few degrees.
As I said before you keep mixing faith with proof and they are not the same. If you have proof, faith is not needed, but you throw the word "faith" around a lot along with "proof". How does one prove "words" were inspired by God? All your examples, links, theories, conjectures etc. are not "proof" that God exists much less inspired "words".
I'll tell you a story...
I use to work with a guy that read the bible all day long when ever he had a chance, extremely religious guy. At his church they would have miracles, talk in tongues, play with rattlers and I ask him why did they need all that and he said to show proof that god exists.
I asked him why does he need proof if he has faith, he couldn't answer that question.....

Faith is a somewhat misunderstood word. I often equate faith and fact as two separate things and this is entirely true. There is a deeper level to faith that you need to see when thinking of faith against proof of God. Proof is produced by faith in a simply way by God. Allow me to make a thread for you based on a word study of the concept of Hebrew faith. I was going to do this anyway. I'll just get it done tonight. Look for the thread.

The title of your OP speaks a different language, but yes, you just believe that someone found a proof of us being created by God who hid number Pi into Genesis 1:1. Why do you and others insult God as being a retarded person? Look at this:
Evolution of Pi: An Essay in Mathematical Progress from the Great Pyramid to Eniac
onlinelibrary.wiley.com...
Do you think that God would use number Pi, which evolved from a number with a few digits to the present more or less analytic form, to imply creation? This is the reason for the first chapter of Genesis having 31 verses, where 3 an1 are the first two digits of Pi. From that point, the number will be evolving: 3.1---------->. As I found out, the evolution of Pi has its limit L in the context of Genesis. It is a very clever puzzle whose purpose is to solve the limit.
As every religious person, you have the right to keep your faith neatly wrapped in a handkerchief. But if you venture outside claiming that you have a logical proof of this and that, you hit a wall with REASON written on it, and FAITH doesn't equal REASON.

After 22 pages your evidence or proof comes down to you saying you got to have faith? Lets examine this for a second you seem under the impression that people who argue against you lacks faith. Well i for one believe there is a god. However im rational about it i know there is no way for me to ever prove there is unless he decides one day to come down here and say hi. Which isnt a likely scenario. the reason for my belief is simple ive had things happen in my life that defies logic. But now someone like you comes along you want to define my god and literally try to make him fit your beliefs but you dont stop there you try to sway others as well to believe what you believe.
The reason your truth is rejected by people here is your trying to impose your beliefs on others. Id defend your right to believe whatever you like and have defended Christ and the Bible even the Koran and Torah. But i wont try to use science to prove the existence of god that just belittles him. He doesnt need to prove anything hes not going to leave us clues he tells us you have to believe. i suggest you go back and take a look at what he was trying to tell you because you missed the mark.( pun intended )
Faith, from a physics standpoint, is taking the indeterminate (Not seen or provable) probability and collapsing the wave function to determined.
...Basically, this takes some valid insights into how the Copenhagen interpretation works, some knowledge of the Participatory Anthropic Principle (PAP), and finds a way to insert God into the universe as a necessary component to the universe.
Even if we allow that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics is completely correct, there are two significant reasons that I can think of why this argument doesn't work.
Reason One: Human Observers Are Sufficient
The argument being exploited in this method of proving God is that there needs to be an observer to cause a collapse. However, it makes the error of assuming that the collapse has to take prior to the creation of that observer. In fact, the Copenhagen interpretation contains no such requirement.
*
Reason Two: An All-Seeing God Doesn't Count as an Observer
The second flaw in this line of reasoning is that it is usually tied in with the idea off an omniscient deity that is simultaneously aware of everything happening in the universe. God is very rarely depicted as having blind spots. In fact, if the deity's observational acumen is fundamentally required for the creation of the universe, as the argument suggests, presumably he/she/it doesn't let much slip by.
And that poses a bit of a problem, because the only reason we know about the observer effect is because sometimes no observation is being made.
I SAID: 'Faith, from a physics standpoint, is taking the indeterminate (Not seen or provable) probability and collapsing the wave function to determined."
YOU SAID:
No it's not, there is no "faith" in physics. There is math and empirical evidence.
You're not the first person to try and warp very valid science principles and try to manipulate it into something supporting your boxed out, pre-concluded endgame (which is disrespectful to anyone who vested time and energy into working on real ideas and theories.)
“The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can change this.”

Just by your answer i see you dont understand physics the state of matter is not changed by the observer at all. Matter exists in all forms the act of observation merely makes it choose where and how. Nothing changes whart so ever and as far as 5th dimension this is where gravitation waves supposedly come from according to an idea. However we have yet to detect these gravitation waves. It was even suspected Cern would give us proof of a fifth dimension we should see drag in that dimension as extra mass in ours. But so far nothing But yet your trying to pass this off as a statement of fact. Now the other part you seem to be unclear on is the multiverse its not other dimensions quite simple your wrong.
Hugh Everett’s “many worlds" hypothesis which is what your eluding to says there is a multivariate where everything that happens has happened somewhere.Every time we force an observation a new universe is created. i can explain why this is believed and also the problems it creates but we are in the wrong thread for that. But at least if your going to use science try to understand it it would help your cause. And im going to end this with a quote from Albert Einstein:

Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Slowly, God is revealing the truth of what is behind the torn veil. Eventually, this veil will be removed.
