I am sure there is an easier way
to describe the creation of life, but this is my attempt to understand why we
are here and how we came to be. It seems
obvious that we exist because of a sequence of events that have gradually moved
the stuff of the Universe, with a little help from external forces like the
Sun, the Moon, and the large gas giants.
These factors have somehow created the most intelligent self-aware beings,
ever known in the Universe as far as we are concerned.
From our perspective, at present,
the only way to create intelligent self-aware life forms is through the process
of evolution. Evolution in our
perspective uses complexity and creates variety, which eventually ends up with
us, human beings.
The world we live on, through its
history has caused a ferocious fight for supremacy in an ever-diversifying planet,
the need to continue, to never die out and become extinct. Could this formula be the formula for intelligent
life? The more ingredients you add to
the soup the better it will taste, and if you add enough ingredients, you end
up with a human being. What if we added
more ingredients, would this make a more intelligent, more self-aware, life
form or entity, which is higher on the food chain than we are. Alternatively, is there a level, which is as
good as it gets, before it turns into a strange brew, which tastes awful? Is a
human being the best the Universe can make, or can it make a better living
entity than us, we know it can make plenty that are not as intelligent, or
self-aware, we have a planet full of them, we are the best we know of at
present in our perspective.
I am no good at math, but I am
sure there must be an equation for the evolution of the Universe that gives the
answer as us. I know this is different
to other ideas and concepts I have thought of in the past, but hey, you have to
let your brain and mind just spin around, to flow in a direction until an idea
pops out. Moreover, since this is the
first decent thought I have had in a while I thought I had better type it down
for good or bad.
Back to reality, intelligent
self-aware life forms from our perspective in our known Universe need, a number
of external objects to create the right conditions on a planet, that is in the
goldilocks zone, needing liquid water (or perhaps any liquid, we needed water
but other life-forms might use another compound altogether). The planet needs stability – our own planet
has many factors that stabilise the environment; factors are the stabilising forces,
objects, shields, or whatever it is, create an environment ready for life to
flourish.
I suppose using another analogy
we could be raising an animal, let us say horses, as I do not want to be a pig,
or cow. Centuries ago, horses were wild animals and then man tamed them, we
raised them and over time and created the variety of horses we see today. We were the major force that made a better
horse. One major external factor.
I am still not flowing, I do not
know what has happened to my brain, it is not working as it normally does, hence
the terrible poems I have been writing, I sit and I wait, until the mind
decides to work again. Still at least I
did something even if it is only a page.
