Word Gems exploring self-realization, sacred personhood, and full humanity
Kairissi and Elenchus discuss
return to "Evolution Controversy" contents page
Elenchus. So, what are your impressions, Kriss? Kairissi: It’s really difficult. The author is just giving the highlights. If you read Rupert’s books, you’ll find more layers of complexity. E. Are we going to find any answers here? K. Some answers, yes, but no final ones, I think. Rupert’s theory has some good ideas about how organisms develop and change over time, but it doesn’t address how that first bio-form came into existence. E. I’m hoping that the “double slit,” that new information coming from Tom Campbell, will shed some light on origin. K. It may, but even if the new experiments are highly suggestive of origins, it’s not something you can make firm and solid. We don’t know what the original environment was for primordial Earth, no one was there to see it, and so we can’t really corral it with the scientific method. It’s too subjective and interpretive. E. And yet, acknowledging these concerns, I think we will take some steps forward in taming this great mystery. K. I’ll tell you what really bothers me about this whole area. It’s the cultish dogmatism of materialistic so-called science. They’re as bad as Big Religion. It’s so hard to get a straight story from them. All the data is filtered through “Does this help us to promote an atheistic world view?” If it does, they’ll believe anything, even genes wanting to be immortal. It’s rather sickening. E. TED, in a spirit of book-burning, actually banned Rupert’s lecture on morphogenesis. Bootlegged copies are available on youtube, but that’s the kind of “witch-hunt” mentality we’re up against. K. It’s very ironic about the TED black-listing. Rupert was taking part in a symposium billed as expanding the frontiers of science, or some such idealism – but then, instead of singing “kumbaya,” they tried to blackball him. E. It just shows how threatened establishment science is by Rupert’s findings. K. I think one of the most interesting items so far is the number of genes. Humans have only half as many as a rice plant. E. And chimps and humans have about the same – we’re 96% similar. K. Obviously, the gene has been overrated. It doesn’t do all that was hoped for. E. There’s no “blueprint” in it -- that’s becoming clear. K. Ok, so, Ellus, give me your best sense on how this will all shake out. You don’t have to be right. There’s a lot more data coming. But, what do you think? E. I think morphic fields, in conjunction with the genes, shape, form, and modify the various existing species. And, about those original life-forms – well, the fossil record seems to indicate they appeared suddenly, with no warning or lead up. I’m betting that the new quantum "double slit" experiments will take us in the direction of fully-formed species “created” all at once.
