This guy is a saint. God bless him.

This kind of project actually sounds like fun. A lot of work, but it would be stunning to watch barren soil turn into a living ecosystem.

to elaborate, if you went and got good advanced degrees in cosmology, particle physics, biochemistry, genetics, ....you still would not understand anything. you would only be able to describe processes from within the same limited way of seeing the universe.

[1utubemod5Rp3dos3]

i don't need to watch anything to know what you see. i know your vision is limited, your mind couldn't handle knowing what i know. if you could see what i see, you'd cease to be the way you are, as the way you are comes from thinking that a limited view of the universe based on modern science makes you knowledgeable.

you don't know what you don't know. you just need to sound to others like anything you wrote was having of information, when it does not.

[Kapten Krok]

I've never said that, fool.

Here is an easy-to-follow documentary I've found for you: watch?v=G_MFhAoUUmQ

I can't explain how the world works or was created with the limited space we got here on youtube, so watch that documentary, I don't have time for you anymore, you're not worth it.

If you want to know more about physics and the universe you can sign up at one of the online universities like edx, coursera, udacity etc.

Knowledge and science is wonderful, I hope you one day can see what I see.

also, what electron clouds of what atoms formed first then? in what order? out of which subatomic particles? cause you said you know that.

[1utubemod5Rp3dos3]

you claim to know to something like atoseconds after the big bang what was going on. and you think that the building blocks of dna existing = their being able to arrange themselves spontaneously into molecules forming a code of instructions, which is the same as claiming that bricks lying around can magically just become castles all on their own. as if bricks contain blueprints to design castles. plus know how to eat things to make more bricks.

you don't even know what you don't know.

[Kapten Krok]

You're not very educated, are you?

Read up on physics, you need it for sure.

No one has ever said that a castle came sopntaneously from a stone, so don't pretend that anyone did.

what are you talking about? the creation of the universe or the creation of life? They are two very very different subject.

[1utubemod5Rp3dos3]

''We know what happened up until the 0.00000000000000000001 second of the universe's creation.''

i can't believe anyone that dumb exists as to claim such a ridiculous pile of.

give an outline of the conditions that lead to molecules arranging themselves into an instructional code that tells itself how to build and maintain more of itself. step by step. down to the interval of 0.00000000000000000001 seconds per step.

stones spontaneously becoming castles?! really?

[Kapten Krok]

No one has ever said that the universe came from nothing. We know what happened up until the 0.00000000000000000001 second of the universe's creation. Concerning DNA, the protein and amine acids needed to create life can be found all over the universe, as asteroids and comets have shown.

Then you obviously need the right conditions for it to be able to form into a life form. You can find life in the most unlikely places, like deep inside rocks for example, they're very small organisms.

i think about that too - there are great videos showing success in greening deserts, but it seems they do not get access to Australias deserts?!

clearly the aboriginal peoples would need to be involved in what should and shouldn't be altered etc, since they would seem to know how to live on it as it is currently.

i think it's obvious that any desert is not 'natural' - they exist because the vegetation has been reduced so much that the rainwater cycles cease to exist.

[1utubemod5Rp3dos3]

....condt again....remains the need to explain what the universe sprang from, and why it so did,

and that leaves us at the same place as religions - saying it came from nothing isn't any better an explanation than vague descriptions of how some consciousness pre-existed the universe, and made it accidently, or on purpose.
