It s clear that life evolved from one source given the fact that they share the same basic code (CUA codes for leucine in viruses, bacteria, and humans! WE are all bacteria! A friend of mine was discussing with me the other day the mysterious circumstance of how the first cell plasma enclosure could have formed. He says it is a mystery with no answer as of yet...

"Why do we have such an expectation? I expect to get to work safely because I've done it thousands of times before and it is likely. Why the disconnect between NORMAL life and PARANORMAL life?" We have the expectation because we have experience that justifies the expectation, and we have an awareness of past present and future. My comment was only to point out that we live in the moment and that we never actually touch future (or past). I don't see the disconnect or a paranormal aspect to that. I like your treatment of the concept of time, order and disorder, and organization. You only mentioned that you think awareness is a fundamental property of the universe. You said awareness is the thing that "draws the connection." This seems like common sense but I was wondering if you have based this on anything other than what is self evident. Right on. "I wouldn't dream of trying to sway someone from their beliefs" Nor I. One of the beliefs that I hold is that this never happens through debate. I feel quite comfortable that my beliefs are founded in convincing evidence (convincing to me).
