great music - great animation - but does not in anyway explain how life came about - but then Darwin never did either!

[Chibling]

@Livy8ful Evolution does not explain the origins of life, only the variety of species that we see. Scientists are currently looking into abiogenesis but it is still a young field of research. Evolution also does not explain the big bang or gravity but that is because it does not try to.

Everytime I watch this video, which is alot, I remember how beautiful life is.

[Chibling]

@MsAgnosticatheist It is something we take for granted. It is sad that most people will never look at nature and the world around them with a deep enough understanding to fully appreciate existence.

[Raptorman117]

@Chibling I wonder, will we ever get to that point when we have the understanding to "fully" appreciate nature? Our comprehension is far from full, and nature teaches us over and over again that it is full of surprises. We have far fewer of the answers than we think, and that is the beauty of it. Nature is a painting with more strokes than we can count. It is a poem with the most intricate rhythm. It is a novel that is accessible on the surface, yet always surprises with its inexhaustible depth.

[Chibling]

@Raptorman117 I agree to a certain extant. There is much that we do not know. At the same time there is much that we do know. The existence of atomic particles for one and the entire field of organic chemistry. Also we know about DNA and our entire genome. The coding mechanism within all our cells. Most people never think on this level. So perhaps I should have said that a deeper scientific understanding helps in the appreciation of nature despite not knowing everything about it.

[Darkfoxx999]

@Raptorman117 We will never be able to understand nature... mainly because we're probably going to destroy it before we're given the time to understand it. We think of ourselves as the epitome of nature, but we are only a blip in a long story of amazing creatures. No matter how many things we think we know Nature will always reveal a doorway to things we did even know could be possible. Nature will teach us her ways but we have to be open enough to listen
