I suspect very few of the "geniuses" who frequent here have heard of the Golden Ratio.

Because proportional things are perceived as more attractive? Research shows that we find people who are proportional (following 1.618 ratios) to be relatively more attractive, so they will pass on their genes and their offspring will have a similar ratio.

I'd think nature works in a similar way.

Here's a good question. Why would 1.618 prove that some invisible male entity exists in the clouds?

You'll have to outline the argument a bit better than that. Yeah, I believe in God, but I'm not sure what you're talking about.

all life evolved from the same basic life so it makes sense that it shares a lot of commonality.
