Awesome! Love NdT. Thanks for sharing. Let us declare nature to be legitimate. All plants should be declared legal, and all animals for that matter. The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous.

nice "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today." anyone know who said that?
<Ringworm>hehehe, it's all fun and games till someone loses an "I"

Sounds like Lawrence Krauss. I love the "So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today." line. I wish more evangelicals and fundamentalists of every religion would truly take this concept to heart. Let us declare nature to be legitimate. All plants should be declared legal, and all animals for that matter. The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous.

anyone know who said that? Yes was Lawrence M. Krauss. Thanks for sharing. Astounding indeed. Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
reaching out to me, lets me see.
There is so much more and it beckons me to look though to these,
infinite possibilities.
As below so above and beyond I imagine,
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

The tears i cry could once have flowed in a river on a distant planet in a distant galaxy many moons ago. that fact makes me happy. I wonder where my body will be in 10 billion years time
