19. Something made it happen and there is intelligence and consciousness throughout the universe
Edited on Fri Jun-11-10 08:37 PM by Liberation Angel
or at least it seems like there is...

if any consciousness and awareness and intelligence exists at all it must be an integral part of all that is.

But human beings always think they are the smartest things in the universe...

when things like Hiroshima and the Gulf Oil slaughterhouse and the Shoah prove that we are capable of being really f*cked up and really really fucking stupid and evil.

So they deny the possibility that there can be an intelligence greater than they are.

I think that is hopelessly naive.

And hell WE are capable of creating test tube babies, cloning creatures, grafting two species together and creating hydras or monstrosities which are part human part beast) and even creating life itself.

Why COULDN'T a great intelligence (or collective intelligence) have made this place?

I'm not saying it is a "someone" or even that "God" is a decent or useful name for that (damn stiff-ass Teutonic tribal nouns - I'm just saying we are hopelessly vain if we think that it could NOT be possible.

To me the odds against all this being a total accident is just too great to e a scientifically sound possibility.

I recommend "Before the Big Bang" by physicist Dr. Ernest Sternglass (which can be found at www.radiation,org )
