In Response To: Re: help me out...to read this (Steve Levinson)

: Goran,

: What you experienced is one of two things - an absense seizure or an altered
: mental state. Altered mental states are very interesting and difficult to
: describe - it's a sort of self-hypnosis and most bright people can train
: themselves to entere this sort of state at will. Yoga is a lot like this,
: as is trancendental meditation. In your case, you may have entered such a
: state somewhat accidentally through your deep thoughts. If you work on it,
: you can probably do it again - it's pretty cool - and you can control the
: nature of the experience. You can also train yourself to become conscious
: during dreaming when you're asleep and to control your dreams, but this
: takes incredible concentration, as most of us just wake up.

: Oh, and regarding human evolution, there really is no missing link anymore.
: The fossle record is now available throughout most of hominid evolution.
: The only controversies remaining seem to be when we branched off from the
: line that lead to gorillas and chimps and whether some of the hominids
: that have been discovered are true ancestors or actual dead ends - mere
: branches in the hominid family tree. There was no sudden leap - the trates
: we thing of as human develped slowly, bit by bit, and the only reason the
: gap seems so large now is that all of our direct ancestors are extinct -
: many of them quite possibly at the hands of their offspring species.

OK put it this way, how did life develop in the first place? It can't just pop up like that, from a rock. You have the big bang theory, yeah sure, but it doesn't explain at all how life can appear. Gigantic dead planets of air, water and earth can't just magically of evolution create a life form. That was more what I thought about, those small creatures in the sea, built on one or two cells. How did they came to be?
