I don't think that whether atoms function like thought is on the agenda at CERN, they are more interested in whether string theory has any basis in fact (I'll put money on not) and whether things like dark matter (which appears to slow down galaxies spinning, and if real accounts for 90% of the universe though we can't see it!)are real or just errors in the Newtonian understanding of gravity. The LHC isn't powerful enough to be definitive with any current theories, a lot of things they are hoping to find fit into several possibles. They just want to know if they are on the right track but solving all the mysteries of the universe will have to wait a bit longer. I think it's pretty cool there are so many gaps in mans knowledge about nature, but I'm not convinced that religious ideas will be filling them anytime soon, simply because they were dreamed up by people as part of creation myths and cultural stories, they weren't slowly and painstakingly worked out on paper. But you never know, there's bound to be surprises. I was reading that possible gaps have been found in Einsteins relativity which will shake things up a bit. I think everyone will be astonished if intelligent atoms turn up now and I'm not asware of any suspicions in that direction. > If the answer is yes again, then we can have a possible explanation > of how the prajapatis were able to travel instantaneously the entire > universe to affect the growth of matter or organisms--leading to the > development of humanoids-- in planets that can support life.

Occams razor, does life need these guys as an explanation for how it appears? I would be surprised if the answer is yes. In fact I'd put money on a No here as well. The main trouble I have with creationism is that it doesn't explain anything. If these guys did start life, where did they come from? And where are they now? As I said yesterday Darwin's genuis was explaining the amazing complexity of life using simple, observable chemical processes. Up til then everyone had assumed that something as amazing as us must have been created by something even more amazing. It's the old watchmaker story, if you are strolling along and find a watch on the ground you know that someone made it, therefore (they think)we must have had a creator because we are so complex. Every civilisation then casts it's own particular creator. These vedic quantum dudes are just another watchmaker I reckon. Happy to be proved wrong though.
