Consciousness is created in the brain and there isn't any evidence to suggest otherwise. So there's a bit of faulty logic in thinking that "Someone" is need to maintain it as it would get along without us just fine.

That's where Stephen Hawking, Lawrence Krauss and other scientists have failed to understand. They have failed to see the connection between consciousness and matter. In simple terms, space exists because there is Someone who conceived of a length, width, and height and maintains this concept as time progresses. A random quantum fluctuation could not possibly conceive and maintain this concept of space and time. So, how can this random quantum fluctuation start and maintain the universe? IMO, the universe was started by a quantum wave function which contain the embedded information to create the Big Bang, light, space/time, the galaxies, stars, planets, one-celled organisms, living beings including plants, animals and human beings. The DNA is part of the quantum wave function which gets triggered to create the higher forms of life culminating to human beings. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote: John, I wish I could find a post from salyavin somewhat recently. It had to do with how life started, the combining of something with something else and it was a random happening, will never happen again kind of thing. Anyway, it speaks to this point about life and its pure randomness. But I also like the holographic idea.

If this is so, then what are the mechanisms for making this happen at such disparate places. Perhaps the holographic theory of the universe may be true. Also, even if we can detect the existence of humanoids in these exoplanets, is it possible for us to communicate with them or even visit their worlds? At this time, our technology is not advanced enough to make this happen.
