self-respect ...

... there is nothing more suffocative than truth, thus ... we have art in order not to die of the truth ...

all-pervasive understanding ...

i only know what i already know ... i do not know what i do not know.

almighty imagination ...

"...the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth." Genesis 8:21

is not imagination more powerful than thought ? is not Imagination more important than knowledge ? is not life imagination ?

religion has attempted to create order out of our unpredictable world using non-rational or faith-based rules and social myths to insure security and create peace.

a world governed strictly by reason does not provide any flexibility and lack of imagination becomes the agent of fear and self-righteousness.

"reality" is the mirror of the interplay of imagination and thought ... true sense of beauty and imagination is only developed through observation of nature...

kind of feynman's meaning ...

chlorophyll is the molecule responsible for photosynthesis in bacteria & plants that allows to capture the sun's energy, and responsible for plant's green color.

the chloroplast with which plants make food for themselves is actually a cyanobacterium living within the plant's cells.

proteins in bacteria & humans have the very same molecular structures.

so close to life is life, the universality of the deep chemistry of living things is indeed a fantastic and beautiful thing, the same time we humans have been too proud even to recognize our kinship with the animals.

the world is a spinning ball, and people are held on it on all sides, some of them upside down and we turn like a spit in front of a great fire, we whirl around the sun, that is more romantic, more exciting, some 'force' keeps the earth round, holds the sun together and keeps us running (falling) around the sun in our perpetual attempt to (safely) stay away.

it looks as if life was belched from some exploding star, much as some of the stars that are exploding right now, so this piece of dirt waits four and a half billion years and evolves and changes, and now a strange creature stands here with instruments and talks ...

... and, again, it has been discovered that all the world is made of the same atoms, that the stars are of the same stuff as ourselves, it then becomes a question of where all of this stuff came from ?... "what a wonderful world" the imagination of nature is far far greater than the imagination of man.

freedom to doubt is a way-too-important matter in the sciences, it was a struggle to be permitted to doubt, to be unsure... then I think we must frankly admit that we do not know ...

no thing as a species ...

"let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind . . and the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind." - genesis 1:11-12.

do distinct species change into other distinct species ?

natural selection and mutations, which scientifically prove that cross-species changeovers cannot happen. scientists tell us that no one really knows how any species originated.

charles darwin wrote a book, entitled "origin of the species" ... but he said not one word in it about how life forms first began. In addition, in his book he gave no explanation of how a new species could originate by one species changing into another. he did say that "natural selection" could do it, but in later years he repudiated the idea. with this empty background, what do evolutionists mean by the term "species evolution" ?

If one species cannot change into another, then there is no evolution of life forms. yet even darwin admitted that such changes never occurred, and thus quoted "not one change of species into another is on record . . we cannot prove that a single species has been changed."

ok... to make things lighter ... we all know that one day when isaac newton was drinking tea in the garden, he saw an apple fall to the ground. he started thinking about why it fell, and finally concluded that the same force which caused the apple to fall also kept the moon in orbit around the earth. this same force, gravity, also kept the planets in orbit around the sun ... but ... he missed the point to explain how the apple got up there in the first place ? ...

numbers in red ...

i'm writing a book. i've got the page numbers done ...

there is safety in numbers ...

the whole is more than the sum of its parts ...

then ...

( number of fruits per tree ) X ( number of fruiting trees ) = how many number of new fruiting trees ?
can there be safety in numbers ? ...

perspective ...

perspective ( Latin-perspicere to see through ) is a mathematical system for projecting the three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional surface, which begins with a horizon line, which defines the farthest distance of the background and a central vanishing point, which defines the foreground of the space, in which the artist may arrange figures, objects, subjects, these elements link the science of three-dimensional geometry with the art of illusionistic representation.

light ...

... how light is light ? ... why does light become very big and heavy such as a 1000 year old tree ...

philosophers of science point out that science doesn't answer why questions, it only answers how questions. Science doesn't explain ... science describes.

my explaination would prefer to choose the experience of a photographer, consider the picture posted in "trans time", the image consists of both stationary objects such as the tree bark, the insects in a meeting and the busily moving insects. now you can imagine me using a flashlight (1/10,000 of a second) to arrest all movement or use 1/2 second exposure using available light. so the point being, the stationary items dont have time influence them and the moving subjects influence light. so ones perception and camera setting is the crucial factor in understanding light.

it is said that, If you can't explain something to a six year old, you don't really understand it !

p.s : every atom in the universe is physically bound to all others via two anti-parallel threads twined around each other like strands of DNA !!

trans time ...

... in the 1970's while studying unicellular organism and their ability to sequence genes, which should have been a scientific way of proving darwin’s tree of life ...

darwin assumed that organisms passed their genes to their offspring. Instead, what was seen was that some bacteria and some single-celled microorganisms swapped genes across huge distances.

lateral transfer of genes was not the way the tree of life was to be, evolutionary biology had the axe ready to cut down the tree of life further. fungi, amoeba, algae are themselves a product of fusion ...

unicellular organisms make for at least 90% of all species on earth and 80% of them show lateral gene transfer. lateral transfers are seen in plants and animals too, about 14% of all living plant species and about 10% of all animals have been found to be “products of fusion of two separate lineages.”

“downgrading the tree of life doesn’t mean that the theory of evolution is wrong, just that evolution is not as tidy as we would like to believe.”

somewhere ...

somewhere ...

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!

lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, sung by a bird

evening sun ...

the sun orbits the center of the milky way galaxy at a distance of approximately 26,000 light-years from the galactic center, completing one revolution in about 225–250 million years. the orbital speed is 217 km/second ... and all of this is necessary for this simple image ? ...

the unknown potential is far greater than the known potential ....
