Does life naturally evolve into a complexity that produces intelligence? It only appears to based on one example of what has emerged on earth. It was a bolide that wiped out over 90 percent of life on Earth that actually made it possible for mammals to become the dominant form of life on the...

Many people are afraid of life because of the many perceived dangers that come with it. These dangers are emphasized everyday by the media, professionals and even parents. A chronic, condition of introversion has spread into societies where real and imagined dangers keep people behind locked...

I would personally encourage the study of evoked "near life experiences" (NLE) rather than concentrating on "what its like to be dead". This could only add "soul" to what is today often considered a "souless" society.

Any lightning strikes in your area round about now?!

You just did.:wink:

Actually, from our perspective the reason for everything is to support our progress. This, however, for the most part has been proven to be a correlative, egocentric delusion.

Thank you berkeman. What are the possibilities that I missed that? (100%) With so many galaxies to choose from (billions and billions) and many of them sporting a ring shaped habitable zone it seems as though life, complex or otherwise, can take place pretty well anywhere out there.

It would be possible to compile an approximation by way of extrapolation with regard to the probablility or possibility of there being a form of life that resembles the human form (and function) The method would be to compile all of the conditions that have contributed to the emergence of life...

If anyone would like to explore the idea of "superposition" or "non-locality" of neuronal impulses please feel free to comment in this thread https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=147833 on the PhysicsForum Its in the Metaphysics & Epistemology section of philosophy.

My two cents on the word "soul". from wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul These definitions describe a condition that appears to animate the physical. The soul is shown here to be the essence that gives sentience and purpose to an otherwise useless lump of...

I disagree. As long as we don't have a reason for something we will be looking for one. Some will fabricate the cause and some will investigate the cause. Fabricated reasoning will collapse on to its poorly fabricated support. Investigations will go on for centuries, with no assurances of...

Here's a link to a methodology in Critical Thinking. http://www.sdbonline.org/archive/SDBEduca/dany_adams/critical_thinking.html

As far as I know we are all subjected and exposed to the same stimuli. The sun, the Earth and everything that goes with these two mammoth stimuli are forefront in our perception and our collective experience. These stimuli and the many other constants that come with them are stimulating neurons...

Its how we interpret and translate facts in nature that requires "correctness" among more than one person or more than one opinion. Here's a guide to creating your first ontology. http://protege.stanford.edu/publications/ontology_development/ontology101-noy-mcguinness.html Or just...
