How Ironic


Something I've been banging on about before: life on earth may well have arrived from space, via a comet


"An amino acid called glycine has been found in dust collected by the Stardust spacecraft, which flew by Comet Wild 2 in 2004"


I see the ghost of Fred Hoyle riding in on that comet.

The irony is that we are perhaps on the verge of deciding that the universe is in fact full of life (something mystics have known for thousands of years but which seems to be a hard-won fact for scientists) just as we are about to destroy ourselves - ourselves, and all life on the planet.It's been done before.

Bloody well done, humanity.

Meanwhile, back in my own godhood, I woke up in the middle of the night with symphonic music rising up from within.

  1. Quite interesting!
    Thanks !
    But that is a hard blow on my previous belief that All came into being 6 000 years and seven days ago via one bearded being...

  2. It's comforting, in an odd way, that the universe has all it needs to replace us, a sorry, failed experiment...
