Autopoiesis.

It's a scientific hypothesis that will make you believe in anything, including perhaps even the most far fetched notion of a god. It's a theory that brings creationism and evolution together into one, emergence.

If we emerged out of nothing, and came into being through the magic of thought, then so must thought have. Ever thought of that, one?

It's a mind fuck, science was never meant to be easy to understand.

The chemicals that make us up are constructs of our mind, not the other way about. We create answers to the questions we are born with, it's a continual cycle that without which life would probably be a questionless mean.

I've started talking zen bollocks again, and I've forgotten what point I was trying to make. I going through to the kitchen to see if my potatoes are ready to take off the boil.
