Yeah from the original. It's the episode where the "robot", Nomad, floats about a meter off of the floor in the Enterprise; it changes Uhura into this little pyramidal shaped thingy; it states, "this unit is a mass of conflicting impulses, neutralize this unit" then this beam focuses from Nomad onto Uhura and 'Zap' there is only this little pyramid shape of 'chemicals' on the seat. I dig Uhura, I dig the old Star Trek.
Dude, that goddess with 8 hands needs me to grow another 7 cocks. Wait. I mean 8 more. She has a mouth. And was it a goddess? I forget.
I thinl the first movie, if I recall correctly, is based in part on this episode. Yes found, it is based on Nomad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Motion_Picture
David Thank you. So what where the three domains of LIFE [Archeae, Eukarya and Bacteria] That dna formed in...? Is not a domain of LIFE..A biological system? However... What has this to do with dna itself, being the basis for an arguement supporting the existance of 'a' conscious direction that allows dna to be? Occam
DNA does not cause life...the "fantastic" structure of DNA alone means nothing without the phospholipid bi-layer, and the Mitochondria, which have thier own DNA
Burbot Occam in fact was suggesting that the quality 'life' attached to DNA is not an issue. Virii are now considered by 'most' scientists as 'alive'. The definition, Life, like the thing itself, is mutable. Quite correct, everything is connected. In very complex ways...massively complex ways. The universe started as a cloud of expanding hydrogen[so the theory goes] And NOW... There is consciousness that observes the universe that birthed it. Quite a step...occam is told it is a result of random chance. You think so? Occam
Kharakov Occam thinks that it might 'appear random' because too many take science and it's understanding too seriously. Shall we always fall in line with what the majority say? Yes, science reveals many truths. But in saying it cannot see a direction in reality. We must remember that it it might not have the eyes to do so. Or the wisdom. Both of which occam believes it does not have. Yet. For what our science calls understanding.. More advanced science calls comparative ignorance. Occam
I'll be impressed when man can make a blade of grass, said Thomas Edison, who was tipping his hat to God's vastly greater creative ability. To me, one drop of water, or one blade of grass holds enough mystery to support the existance of Spirit. But, although I believe in magic, miracles, angels, the power of prayer, and a immensely diverse and superfluous spirit world.... that does not convince me that a deity as defined by organized religion exists. I currently feel that there is likely some common thread that links all things together as one, and that this bond is spiritual, and eternal, and therefore more real than a gene, or a stone, or a galaxy, since all the things we can see will one day be gone...they are temporary. I feel spirit is the only true reality, and all matter is illusory, cuz it is all transigent. I don't 'know' any of this for sure. I just feel comfortable with my imperfect, incomplete, yet compelling conclusion that Spirit is real. It is unknowable, unexplainable, undefinable, and incomprehensible to our limited intellect. But very real, for me.
