beautiful,

thank you!

Earth is in between Jupiter and Mars? What? and the whole commentary based on that idea? Kind of a jump to conclusions as well with Hawkings idea. I quibble over small points. The big picture point is moving in a good direction.

Thanks RationalThoughtNow for giving us a perfect example of BS...meaning you really have no clue what Brian Swimme is communicating about.

Your response, seems to me, to be about who you (presently) are! ?

Listen again with an open mind and you may be very surprised.

cheers

t surely cannot be a cosmic accident that this guy's initials are BS: he simultaneously talks and talks and talks and says nothing! It is mindless factoid spewing, with no content and pretense whatsoever. It is easy to speculate that BS had some sort of spiritual crisis in his life, and what emerged was even worse; namely, pantheistic utopian fog. For clearer minds, there is no danger listening to him; you can do that with impunity, but also feeling sorrow for a man utterly self absorbed.

Extraordinary. Brian has assimilated the relevant science, philosophy, and theology and distilled it into the story that must be told and told and told again. It is a story as beautiful and moving as the salmon runs that so move him. Thank you.

Brian Swimme is one of our greatest living lights in presenting the Epic of Evolution -- the creation story born of mainstream science - in ways that are not only accurate but help us truly identify with the cosmos and its continuing creativity. Perhaps the best way to get into this video is to start where he begins talking about the space photos -- watch his spontaneous brilliance in his own field of cosmology: around 30 minutes into the program.
