| I don’t believe in the distinction between animal, mineral and vegetable any more. Yep, kingdoms are an easy way of classifying things for those naturalists among us, but like most classifications they’re abstract, and half-truths. I think that geographical phenomena should be observed by biologists, that mountains are formed and eroded by processes that are more akin to the growth and shedding of skin than is popularly accepted. I embrace Gaia theory with open arms; the planet earth is a living organism, the universe itself is alive, the ‘solar system’ model of the atom is more than just metaphorically valid, the sun is a thinking nucleus, the big bang would be better understood by midwifes or experts in cell division than by scientists brought up on pyrodynamics and big rockets. Who thinks I’m talking hippy bollocks? |

I do think everything is 'connected' in some way. (I tried to think of a better word than connected) A grand-unified-theory-of-everything if you will. You mention geographical phenomena and skin shedding which makes me think you're hinting at chaos theory. Then you go on to say the sun is a thinking nucleus and while I can see the similarity with the structure of atoms I don't think it's conscious in any way. Your post seems to lean towards the spiritual in many ways (which I'm unconvinced about) and yet my views are quite similar. The similar patterns of micro/macro structures don't require an intelligence to form. That's just the way the universe is (atm anyway!). A chaotic mass/energy system which will always tend towards infinite complexity.
