Also, it is not likely that the life in the universe evolved and just multiplied itself mechanically to follow the rules of physics. It is more likely that the universe is a participatory or synergistic entity. To recoin the phrase, the universe is consciousness. It can be found in us and we in it. > > > > > > "More" likely?

Hi John, Descartes actually got it in reverse, it should be or is : "I Am, therefore I think" I Am = Consciousness = Universal Intelligence = One Life which supports your above point better, i feel the evolutionary theories are OK as far as matter is concerned, up to a point; they are never perfect and much of it should really be referred to as hypothesis not theories but, they do NOT adequately explain the what is or how or where from of life, intelligence, consciousness and awareness the problem is easily solved if one hypothesizes that life-intelligence-awareness is the source NOT the byproduct of matter the hypothesis that consciousness is a byproduct of the electrical activity in the brain, is to me, being stuck in the Newtonian billiard ball physics; there are many physicists who propose otherwise at least one should be able to see, from physics and/or spiritual experiences, that matter is nothing but light-energy playfully wrapping itself up in a bundle which we call particles => molecules => solid matter and how the world of forms appears to us is simply an optical illusion created by light [mostly coming from the sun] bouncing off this and that, received by our senses, processed in the brain and interpreted by the mind of thoughts-ego-intellect the mind of thoughts-ego-intellect are not explainable by science and neither is LOVE, but this is another post later here's an easy & fun book to read, every other page is a funny but wise cartoon "The Game of God" by Hancock & Brugger should be able to get it at Amazon for $3 or so enjoy ! om namah sivaya, anatol
