    Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA had the idea that DNA may have come into being out in space and arrived here on earth already formed. I forget the details of the argument now, but I think he thought that there hasn't been enough time for something as complex as the DNA molecule to evolve on earth.
    I'm not sure. We know that once life is established there can be periods of very fast mutation. An example being the doubling of the human brain size in about 2 - 3 million years, the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms.

    There's a lot of evidence to suggest we humans evolved like all other animals from more primitive ancestors. The human brain is the most complex structure we know of, so if it did indeed evolve, then elsewhere, on some other habitable planet, evolution could have reached a later stage and there might be beings with brains vastly more complex. I'm not saying there are such beings but it is possible.

    There could also be intelligences that are incorporeal. I don't think it can be proven that there are or are not such entities.

    Sometimes, I imagine life as some sick fucked up thought some bored kid came up with in his basement.

    What would u do if you were the only thing in the universe?

    Make up a probability from the mental cause of your imagined 'thing' for being dead or alive. And the universe never occurred in time. Of course, this is not my solution for irresponsibility.

    Make up = Create
    Probability = Chance. or odds.
    Mental Cause = Thought Process
    Imagined = Created
    'Thing' = idea
    for = the process of being
    Dead or Alive = Either, or.
    And = Existentially equivalent in time and space.
    Solution for irresponsibility = This suggests this was a solution to 'irresponsibility'

    DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND ENGLISH???? Y U NO MAKE CENTS?!?

    The mental cause ideally is explaining within oneself that you have acquired the knowledge for the external world through a duplicate idea for the impressioned idea in a human's faculty for understanding. That way you wouldn't be a thing. However, the timing of the explanation for how we have the material world duplicated in our minds perhaps makes the world judgeable outside ourselves in Space and Time. In essence space and time fils out everything to the individual being-there; maybe personally I just like being a thing.

    But rather that is the false way to happiness, and I cannot really mean that.

    Oh well, the brain reading the brain should be an externalized problem. But that is not one of my read fields. So instead they have all of these facts of illusion to contend about. Even the ex-president of Iran, Ahmedinejad, had his famous illusion that God promised equality for the ideally faithful nations of the world in nuclear strength. Mass communication doses the materialism as well.
