Well now, let's give Dr Tyson a bit of leeway, this tiny video doesn't tell the whole story.<br />He might well have thoughts on the issue you raise.<br /><br />I'd say that "life" happens when the various elements interacted - causing (for want of a better word) sparks. Consciousness, as we call it, evolved from those sparks. That's one idea.<br /><br />It's a question to which we'll never know the answer, not really. Some might have faith in their own answers - but faith isn't fact. I'm staying as a "don't know".<br /><br />Thanks, yes, computer is behaving, so far. My new Norton 360 caught a<br />malware re-direction type thingie just 10 minutes ago from a link at Google - something that previously would have had me tearing my hair out!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-46262689237140475802012-03-20T13:07:22.784-05:002012-03-20T13:07:22.784-05:00Anonymous/Gian Paul ~~ So true, GP, so true! :-)Anonymous/Gian Paul ~~ So true, GP, so true! :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-4633423287997896962012-03-20T13:06:31.650-05:002012-03-20T13:06:31.650-05:00James Higham ~
I haven't decided who to vote...James Higham ~ <br /><br />I haven't decided who to vote for yet - too far ahead. <br /><br />I'm wondering whether to take the late, much-lamented, George Carlin's advice:<br /><br /><i>"I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain,' but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created." <br /></i>Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-33559970956986873732012-03-20T10:53:08.380-05:002012-03-20T10:53:08.380-05:00"all the fundamental ingredients of life"..."all the fundamental ingredients of life"<br /><br />er.... not quite. Like all scientists he forgets to include 'life' which is not inherent in any of these so called ingredients and because he cannot fit it into his theories he quietly ignores it.<br /><br />Here is 700+ pages of scientific heresy-<br />http://www.amazon.co.uk/Irreducible-Mind-Toward-Psychology-Century/dp/1442202068/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332258291&sr=1-1<br /><br />Among the authors' conclusions is that the quantum theory of physics has completely undermined all scientific theories in every discipline and we can no longer be sure about anything. They also point out that this is such a shocking idea that most have turned away rather than confront it.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />hope you are well Twilight and that your computer is behaving itself :)JDhttp://nourishingobscurity.com/category/jd/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-13335221205642008852012-03-20T09:36:22.538-05:002012-03-20T09:36:22.538-05:00GP: Very nice presentation.

Takes one away from politicians (any) and their (so) human fabrics of lies and distortions.<br /><br />Often I thought if science and understanding of the origins of what exists were more prominent in people's minds, there would be no need of religions and their more modern succesors like political parties and money minded "do-gooders".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-64445648614288350502012-03-20T09:34:40.703-05:002012-03-20T09:34:40.703-05:00wash away side-effects of the Santorums
