A dark secret contract well in place - he makes her drippin' wet and she makes him rock hard. The most ancient barter system that still hasn't lost its charm to this day of ours and will continue to flourish till the end of times...
The archbattle in the universe is always: evolution verses egocentrism. The evolutionary drive to produce greater depth is synonymous with the drive to overcome egocentrism, to find wider and deeper wholes, to unfold greater and greater unions. A molecule overcomes the egocentrism of an atom. A cell overcomes the egocentrism of a molecule. And nowhere is this trend more obvious than in human development itself.
Happy Birthday to the great biologist Charles Darwin (1809-1882)!
Charles Darwin revolutionised science as well as humanity's worldview with his theory of evolution, inspired by his voyages around South America between 1831 to 1836. For 20 years after his journey, Charles Darwin pondered his experiences and observations of life's diversity until a fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace wrote to him about a similar idea germinating in his mind. This spurred Darwin and Wallace to present this idea to the Linnean Society of London in 1858. Darwin went on to publish the book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859.
My original AI art made with DALL E 3 honours Darwin and his discoveries, envisioning the great thinker dwelling in his vivid memories of nature's dazzling diversity at the end of his long life.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
More new images from the #AssemblySpaceTelescope! Decades ago I read Climbing Mount Improbable by #RichardDawkins which changed my life by introducing me to the idea of mathematical spaces containing all possible #evolutionary forms. This #midjourney art project builds on that...more soon! And YES #NFTs are going to be part of it, and YES it's a big #FutureFossils #transmedia #scicomm #storytelling thing, and YES Patreon supporters have early exclusive personal use access to all of the hundreds and hundreds of images I'm generating for this project...and YES I'm making canvas prints on demand, DMs open! 👾💐 (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmZBFqJLdB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
As a Christian trained in the sciences, I have spent a lot of time trying to understand how the scientific record coheres with Scripture. My journey of reconciling Creation testimony and Scriptural testimony is ongoing. I was taught in my younger years by well-meaning Christians that Genesis 1-2 are to be literally interpreted: that is, God created everything in 6 24-hour periods somewhere…
This just in, starfish are a radially symmetrical head with a stomach.
God I love echinoderms
If you told someone that there’s an entire group of animals that develop butt first as embryos are born bilateral but then grow a radially symmetrical head like a cancer in their side that then bursts out and lives as a completely separate organism from its birth form and moves via hydraulic systems…
They wouldn’t believe you. Yet one of the most beloved cartoon characters is one of them.
