Many interesting points. While I do not agree with them all, I find your opinions extremely interesting. I should not have said flawless pertaining to DNA, as of course in instances it can 'loose code' and therefore flaws appear in those situations. I think what I meant to say was DNA as well as the things it creates are awe inspiring, mesmerizing, and to think about makes me utterly awe struck knowing of such things like that our eyes are literally plugged into our brain via optic nerves.. the way the taste buds can taste.. our hands can perfectly grasp the foods which seem to be made for us to eat eg. Banana. The whole thing just makes me feel in a total state of amazement over all of creation and the absolute magnitude of intelligence that I witness behind every little detail.. right down to our eyelashes protecting our eyes. Nothing has been left out. Not one detail.

Have you watched those funny birds mating.. I will drop a link here. The way the male puts on such a show for his lady bird. It just makes me laugh but also I feel very amazed by all of this.

Anyhow sorry to go on a tangent about the beauty and intelligence I am constantly struck by.. but I can't help my self. You even fall into that category my friend. When I speak to you, or even when I read your thoughts.. the sheer brilliance behind your words shines through. You are one amazing being.

Lastly thank you for opening up about your thoughts. I thoroughly enjoy your words each and every time.

Oh here is the funny bird video. I just love watching nature videos, as well as documentaries. If you have any suggestions please do share. I am always open to learning new things.

Cheers

You're extremely kind. I am glad to be interesting, and hope to be inspirational as well.

I used to keep peacocks, and I remember being struck by the realization that the beauty of a peacock displaying was God being nice to us. I considered it proof God loved us, but proof is harder to come by if I'm going to be completely reasonable. Sometimes I'm just grateful instead, like I am for this reminder of that exact same thing.

Thanks!

BTW, if you really want to be amazed, have a look at the Banana. It's almost certainly the result of genetic engineering millenia ago.

Banana genetics

"Transposable elements account for almost half of the Musa sequence (Supplementary Text and Supplementary Tables 1 and 8–10). Long terminal repeat retrotransposons represent the largest part, with Copia elements being much more abundant than Gypsy elements (25.7–11.6%) (Supplementary Fig. 4). No major recent wave of long terminal repeat retrotransposon insertions appears to have occurred in the Musa lineage."

It looks to me like CRISPR was used on bananas long ago, but not recently. I find that very interesting.

My goodness now this is something I can sink my teeth into! No pun intended :D

Looking into the banana right now!

Talk soon man

Cheers
