Yesterday on 6-25-08 I went with two professors to a farm near Mars Hill. I had a great time and I am pleased to report that I am making friends with Dr.Stellos T. We drove for two hours up, then two hours back and the whole time the professors were discussing Science and philosophy with me. I was in heaven. We talked in particular about the genetic code and the intricacies of how it worked. One thing I find fascinating about the genetic code is how it is described as a language and alphabet. That is to say, it is compared to written and spoken language. This is to say that somehow the objects in the genes-atoms which are arranged into molecules-talk, interpret, and express themselves. For me this sounds like saying that a mundane object has consciousness and intelligence. It is like saying that a coffee cup is alive at some level. A coffee cup is made up of the same atomic substance as DNA. I am curious how a language like English is similar to the genetic language of DNA. How do the words in English carry meaning and find expression and, even more fascinating, how does DNA hold meaning and express its self? I asked professor Stellos this same question and his answer was remarkably fascinating. He told me that there are levels of reality, connected to biology, that are not talked about in biological text books. He said that the universe is intelligent and that there are energetic realities connected to DNA that Science has only just begun to think about! It is all extremely exhilarating!
