Even Michael Rhodes, down your way. I think most the fringe viewpoints would originate from 'outside' sources. Concepts like; - the reason our DNA will never add up as a program for the body is because the physical DNA is only part of the complete picture. In the same way that science is now able to see body electric fields, there is non-physical DNA at a multitude of levels. - the reason we seem alone is because generally other forms of life are seperated by 'planes' of existance, and in that regard many others think they too are alone in the universe. So the locals on Jupiter sit and look at all the barren planets around them, including earth. - the life forms on earth are all 'planted' here, all from a far larger external pool. So trying to figure out how a giraffe and a mouse evolved from a similar amoeba is an exercise in stupidity. - the unverse is teeming with life, all right HERE, but the seperation is in time/space, not physical, will also makes the SETI program a waste of time. And my opinion is that most of science is f.. in trying to suss out the universe because they're trying to apply narrow local laws to non-local scenarios, even excluding local parameters that do not fit. Simple example; DEATH. There is nothing in our science that addresses a fundamental part of our existance, like scientists haven't noticed it. (f.. stands for flawed ;-) anyway, this topic is too huge, even for OT. Regards Roland Jollivet -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
