Inconclusion, Part 2
I opened this book with a quote from Arthur C. Clarke:
Trying to predict the future is a discouraging, hazardous, occupation because the prophet invariably falls between two stools. If his predictions sound at all reasonable you can be quite sure that in 20 or at most 50 years, the progress of science and technology has made him seem ridiculously conservative. On the other hand, if by some miracle, a prophet could describe the future exactly as it was going to take place, his predictions will sound so absurd, so far-fetched, that everybody would laugh him to scorn. This has proved to be true in the past, and it will undoubtedly be true, even more so, of the century to come.
Well, how did I do?
Were my predictions so absurd, so far-fetched, that you want to laugh me to scorn? It’s understandable. I had a blast writing these stories, but there were a few times I wanted to laugh myself to scorn.
When I started the journey to understand my own Uncertainty, I never imagined that I would end up studying the Bible so deeply. The Bible is full of the absurd. Absurdity is how all those people in the Bible demonstrated their faith in something bigger than this world.
As absurd as the claims in the Bible are, the Bible’s explanation for the Origin of Life is still way more likely than the explanations of modern science. Recorded history is so recent on our planet that it’s easier for me to believe that life on Earth was seeded by aliens, than it is for me to believe in Big-Bang Darwinian Evolution.
@technologists: Do you really believe that humans evolved for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, but didn’t invent toilet paper until 1857?
That’s preposterous.
@biologists: Do you really believe that humans evolved for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, but only 50-100,000 years ago the offspring of Mitochondrial-Eve outprocreated all the billions of people that “co-evolved” alongside her to the level of global extinction?
Where are all the billions of bodies from the millions of years?
@geneticists: Human genes are not spontaneously mutating to become more highly evolved. Our genes are disintegrating from the entropy in our universe, not integrating.
Sickle Cell Anemia, for example, is caused by a single letter mutation in the HBB gene. The reason only 8-10% of the African population carries that mutation is because Sickle Cell Anemia hasn’t had HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS to spread throughout African populations.
@archaeologists: If you study the genetic Haplogroups of all the peoples of the world, North America was completely devoid of humans until about 200 AD. There aren’t any major buildings or structures before Teotihuacan in Mexico. The Pueblo cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde (Colorado) were constructed somewhere between 600-1300 AD. Do you really believe that humans inhabited Earth for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, but didn’t construct permanent buildings in North America until now?
Look around, Boston and Charleston are basically America’s oldest cities. That’s weird.
The only reason scientists need our DNA family tree to be HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS old is because it is the only possible explanation for the mind-boggling complexity of our DNA that doesn’t have a Creator.
But what’s so bad about having a Creator?
You didn’t create this place. I didn’t create this place. You didn’t create me. I didn’t create you.
@physicists: Do you really believe there are an infinite number of universes in the multiverse, just so that one universe could end up looking this way from the spontaneous chaos of the Big Bang?
Candidly, any theory where you need to MULTIPLY BY INFINITY to make it work seems kinda desperate. #granddesign
I guess the number one reason I believe we all have a Creator is Quantum Mechanics. John Archibald Wheeler’s description, “it from bit”, sums it all up. It’s a complete Theory of Everything in just three words. 🤣
The entire baryonic universe that we can measure comes from “data” that reacts to an observer because we all live in a quantum computer. Look around, it’s magnificent isn’t it?
The irony is, reality has too much data for our brains to handle. Our eyes only have cells that sense color for about 2% of our total field of vision. Most of our POV (point of view) is constructed by our imagination using generative-ai that’s been training on this universe our entire lives. Our “experiencing self” was training on this data for five years before our “remembering self” started remembering.
Quantum Mechanics means that we all live in our own individual realities. We all live in our own individual times. That explains everything from General Relativity to the reason musicians have to practice so long to “keep time” with the rest of their band.
Synchronizing time is hard. You have to be going the same speed in space so precisely that bands still need to have a drummer when they are in the same room.
That’s funny
