Hi:
Those unfamiliar with the tenacity of life
might smile at your insistence, but I agree that if encased in rock as an
asteroid, endospores could probably survive interstellar travel. Of course
the rock would have to be large enough to at least partly survive entry
into an alien planets atmosphere.
Even more profound of course is the initial
creation of life in the universe.
In the static geometric universe, order is
conserved- and happily life is preserved forever, including ourselves. The
universe is eternally experiencing and observing itself at some
coordinates.
Unhappily, we must undergo change and the
disquieting uncertainty of birth and death as part of our intermittent
though eternal existence. We are part of the whole, but the whole cosmos
does not depend on us- far from it!
If the Earth blew up, the cosmos would notice-
but would continue with hardly a shrug. The cosmos has backup on backup.
It is as stable as well, Gibraltar. The universe is prepared for every
contingency.
In the beginning, from our frame of reference,
light, moving on the surface of the waters, was able to impose order and
organization on the matter here on Earth. That order, communicated and
imposed by photons, came from the "other side" of our dual universe, the
almost complete (at those coordinates) antiverse.
Life was explosive in its origin, on a
geological time scale. It probably formed on Earth many times during the
first billion and one half years of the Earths existence. Unfortunately,
first a glancing impact with Mars, which formed the moon, and then many
major global killer asteroid impacts wiped out life over and over again.
By 3.2 BY ago these impacts became rare, and
the size of the bodies striking the Earth became smaller, enabling life to
get a foothold. Animals and plants which lived in stable environments
changed little. Those organisms exposed to the stresses and
demands of more rapidly changing environmental conditions experienced
de-selection, leaving only those most fit to continue.
The almost unimaginable evolution of man in but
a few million years (we have changed as fast as some bacteria- which
experience thousands- even millions of divisions in one human lifetime)
has brought us to new frontiers. We would not be here if an asteroid 65
million years ago had not destroyed the Dinosaurs. Just as
individual sperm meets individual egg is an impossibility come true, our
existence as a species came about by an impossible series of coincidences.
That's the way it is in 4-D. From 7-D and a
cosmic perspective we have always existed and will continue to exist
forever. The 7-D and up universe may be complex, but it is fixed, stable
and almost uncomfortably "secure"
And so we and life in the universe have always
existed. We live in a universe where technologically, almost everything
which can be done, has been done. If we doubt that, we can look in a
mirror.
We live in a garden. We are here to enjoy,
explore, and care for that garden. Maybe we will even somehow be able to
add some new and interesting twist, some unique contribution of our own to
the eternal reality.
Best Wishes, Sam Cox
