What do you mean? Does geometry exist independently of man and therefore man merely discovers it, or is it a creation of man? I'd go with the first one.These patterns exist with or without man. If this is true, then is 'intelligent design' intelligible? Or can it be proven? How do we define intelligence or design? A definition entails a proof; yet what are the conditions necessary for any proof?

Otherwise I doubt the authority to say, 'you'.

'Validate': To declare or make something legally valid. Question is why validate something that already exists?

'Proof': Evidence or argument that compels the mind.
Validating is compelling the mind.
How and why a mind is compelled is the matter.
Perhaps I should point at an example. To show the golden ratio, you divide a line. But what's a line? You get to 'primitive' definitions. Where force is maximum. You get my drift @AlphDoti?
