I think that it is honest research. Good reviews of the book on Amazon, I may read it.
You are amazing. mare's nest! Lol! I take it you are not a fan! I am certainly not an art connoisseur, but I like the Simoniac Pope and other Dante works. Then again, I like the Boris guy who does or did a lot of artwork for Conan book covers, etc.
According to Webster a "mare's nest" is 1: a false discovery, illusion, or
deliberate hoax 2: a place, condition or situation of great disorder or
confusion.
Another Blatty post -> The 9th Configuration
For life to appear on Earth, a protein of a molecule of a certain configuration was the necessary building block. Hundreds of millions of them, in fact, but just for the moment, assume it was one. For just one of these molecules to appear by chance would require a material volume of more than sextillion, sextillion times that of the known size of the universe. And considered strictly from the angle of time, given a material volume the size of the Earth, such a probability would require ten to the two hundred forty-third power billions. That would give us just one molecule of the right configuration: but in fact, for life, we'd need billions! |
