    The last post was concerning facts as you can see I loath superstitions such as Atheism and evolution when the hard numbers and sceince is so against such voodoo. Its reality I want to follow

    This is from another publication but Chandra the practicing Buddhist professor of mathmatics has come to some conclusions concerning his research. This is his earlier commentary concerning the numbers his research kept on slapping him in his face with, reality was meeting him head on when this happens followers of the irrational need to find even more irrational explanations as reality becomes harder to hold onto.


    If one is not prejudiced either by social beliefs or by a scientific training into the conviction that life originated on the Earth, this simple calculation wipes the idea entirely out of court. The enormous information content of even the simplest living systems cannot in our view be generated by what are often called “natural” processes For life to have originated on the Earth it would be necessary that quite explicit instruction should have been provided for its assembly. There is no way in which we can expect to avoid the need for information, no way in which we can simply get by with a bigger and better organic soup, as we ourselves hoped might be possible a year or two ago."
