Why the Teleological argument falls flat on it's face.
No, it is literally what we do not do, did not do, and will not do.

Humans do not design things by following designs they observe in nature.

No, they are not. Except very few, very rare cases.

Peanut butter...
My peanut butter does not do this. The answer is elsewhere.

When did spacetime form?
Differential geometry requires a manifold structure. Defined neighborhoods do not require that.
-
When did spacetime form?
GR assumes geometry. Geometry does not assume GR. Thus, failure of GR does not necessitate failure of geometry.

Jewish Nobel laureates
I do not think that Zionism and Orthodox Judaism had any significant effect on average Jews. I rather think of possible effects of mass migration of rural Eastern European Jews to cities in the West and in Russia at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. I think that this cultural disposition is a myth. The preference for academic pursuits could be one of the outcomes of the abovementioned migration.

Jewish Nobel laureates
As Nobel Prizes are often awarded many years after the work has been done, it might be illuminating to see when the prized contributions actually happened. Was there a narrower timeframe when Jews excelled in sciences and math that can be related to certain societal/historical events?

Jewish Nobel laureates
Jews comprise a disproportionally large part of Nobel laureates: (List of Jewish Nobel laureates - Wikipedia). Is there a scientifically accepted explanation to this phenomenon?

Mother Nature holds many secrets from Man or does She?
I could, of course, and it is a common example, but I think my example is simpler. There are no end and beginning points in an open interval. The points \(0\) and \(1\) do not exist in the interval. For any value in the interval, there are values in the interval less than and greater than that.

Mother Nature holds many secrets from Man or does She?
The real interval \(0 \lt a \lt 1 \) has no end nor beginning. Nevertheless, it is finite.

It comes with shortcomings, though.

My worldview is mathematics.

Your favorite science popularizer?
A. Einstein. As a teen, I was driven by the ideas and by the evolution of "the attempts of the human mind to find a connection between the world of ideas and the world of phenomena" in The Evolution of Physics by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld.

Definition for a system
Hmm... Now define the following: grouping, representation, practical, pattern, process, new, knowledge, fact, actualize, tool, technology.

Speculation about the history of the universe
Where we are, T1 is (about) 14 bln years. When we observe an object 9 bln light years away, its T is only 5 bln years.
