Lea Cronin and his pet monkeys…
One has to question Lee Cronin, whose speculations are running wild , believing that intelligent selections spontaneously happen by trial and error and the billions of dna coding and the thousands of parts that make up a human body practically self select . Actually, in vedic terms, the self , in literal terms, selects , with the help of the super Self , a conditioned self with certain mentality , born of actions within matter is connected to a highly complex universal systems on an ethereal plane that devolves in to countless billions of arrangement of atoms ,elements, compounds, molecules , making arrangements for the perfect machine ( the body) in which the soul can temporarily dwell , within eight million four hundred thousands of species of life in this universe , consider , each individual in a species has different individual circumstances awarded due to its granted free will and a deterministic processes within the three modes of nature , which unlimitedly mix and multiply like an artists pallet or melodies on a piano.
FURTHER interest in this topic is discussed in the Bhagavad Gita wherein Krishna gives an alternative to being engaged in matter , but yet , still working within it , when He says ” one who sees action in inaction and inaction in action ” thus the presupposed reactions within the material energies , being so called good or so called bad …….have no effects.
CRONIN assumes that a million monkeys on a million typewriters in a million years would be able to produce a Shakespeare play , just by chance… . Mmmm.
Lee Cronin selectorism theory does not explain the sources of materials or the goal of selections , or his own consciousness , his enquiries presupposes consciousness ,consciousness is the selector, not matter , and for life to occur perfectly in self replicating motions , and by a mutations process, never mind a million ingredients….how many to the power of numbers would be required ? Or types of ingredients and knowledge of specific natural laws that would be productive and be required to evolve the countless tiny machines needed within the machine of the overall body that needs developing ? For example… the 100s of nano machines existing and operating in one cell of our body.
A successful living force needs a developing mind and creative intelligence , bearing in mind that the Darwinian thinks incorrectly that the mind and intelligence is simply neurons firing in the brain , something that eastern philosophy and many scientists disagree with , adaptability and rational..are very much beyond chance chemical reactions…….mixing chemicals never has and never will produce consciousness…..thus Life comes from Life ….that’s our only experience.
