The randomness in the emergence of Life!

How random is the emergence of life?

Does nature move in a step-by-step process or is it in terms of quantum leaps?

It has to be quantum leaps because otherwise we could follow the steps and the mystery factor would have been taken out of the equation. Yet every time this happens, you can’t expect what will happen next – the old ingredients do combine but they do not combine how we expected them to combine – something new happens in creation for the first time.

The life we experience right now – each one of us, is a new creation. The experience is exclusive to each one of us on an individual level. No two people have duplicated experiences, they may come close – but the exclusivity factor remains.

For example – take oxygen and hydrogen – both are gases, invisible and light. Yet when combined together – water forms which has the property of being in liquid form, visible and can be heavy. And new sets of possibilities were created from that point onwards – including humans and life itself.

How is such a process come into place? What are the odds of this happening? You cant just shuffle around properties to get water. Shuffling only brings about change, it doesn’t transform. Sodium and Chlorine form Salt – another example of transformation.

It is all around us – including our bodies which are bonding millions of molecules every second and it all depends on transformation. Breathing and digestion are two examples here. Food and air do not just shuffle around in our bodies but rather go through the same transformation through chemical bonding as mentioned above to keep us going.

Isn’t the sugar extracted from the orange you had this morning digest and travel to your brain to fuel a thought?

Unconcious creation of lies…

In our need to impress, in our need to be superior – All we are feeding each other are lies…

Literally, from what American government does with global bases in almost all countries, all the way to individuals with lies of our appearances on social media – we are constantly lying to each other.

Does all this have an impact on us subconsciously? Does it only affect the next generation or the whole process on evolution? What affect does all this have? A world created around lies – surely there is an end to it. There was a famous quote I read somewhere which said:

“God handed down the truth and the Devil said ‘let me organise it’… so we can say that the devil makes us make the wrong decisions but our decisions are based on what we have learnt from our upbringings and the environment, along with experiences and how equipped we are to deal with them at each stage of our individual lives.

A religious person (any religion) would have a diety or a God figure to have belief in. That those who have done wrong will be judged for their wrong doings. But what power does a Starbucks barista have who is at the bottom of the hierarchy to be aiding for the bombs in Palestine by serving each cup of coffee? But from her point of view – its all she can do. The system exploits in such a beautiful way that one can question if we are just a part of an experiment.

Or do we still believe that because the companies are listed on the stock exchange – and is regulated and audited and hence will have no corruption? In these companies, you only make it to the top if you have a price – and in todays world – everyone has a price.

This is not to say that everyone is corrupt – it just means what you have experienced to be where you are and how those experiences have changed how you perceive the moral world around you.
