Genetically Modified? No Thanks! Monday, Jul 2 2007

Its 2050 AD

Scenario I

India refuses to vote in favor of a resolution brought by America in the UN. The resolution is about carrying out a military action on some country X for allegedly proliferating Nuclear technology. India argues that there is not enough evidence to support the American claims.

America gets angry and imposes sanctions on India! The american agricultural biotech companies like Monsanto implement the sanctions and refuse to sell seeds for crop cultivation in India! Indian farmers are left with no seeds! All these years they had been growing crops using GM (genetically modified) seeds patented by these american companies. They need permission from these companies to grow these crops, since these are patented seeds! Since the farmers had been growing GM crops for the past 4-5 decades now they don’t have stock of natural seeds either!!

The government of India is forced to vote in favor of the American resolution in UN in order to avoid a food scarcity in India!

Scenario II

American agricultural biotech companies announce a 20% increase in their annual license fee for GM crop cultivation. The cost of all food items in India increases proportionately !

Reason? Indian farmers have been growing GM crops and they need to pay for the annual license in order to continue to grow these crops!

The Genetic Story

Well, Dont think that the above scenarios are from some science fiction novel. This is a truth which I realised few days back!

There are about 5 major agricultural biotech companies in US that control about 85% of the food, like Monsanto, DOW, Dupont etc ! They grow and sell Genetically Modified crops and related food.

Did I say “Grow”?

Well, yes. These companies modify or insert genetic sections (genes, slices of DNA) from other species into natural crops. Say for instance Firefly genes are introduced into Corn! Now this becomes a genetically modified corn. This is a patented corn by the agro-biotech company which did the modification!

Firstly, farmers need to pay to this company to buy these genetically modified corn seeds to grow it.

Secondly and more importantly, since these are patented seeds, the farmers also need to pay annual license fees to grow this corn! You cannot simply grow this corn this year and then use the seeds that you got from this year’s yield and continue growing the same corn next year! You need to have valid license to grow the corn, without which it is illegal to grow this GM corn!

Farmers go for GM crops for various reasons. Increased yield, resistance to different crop diseases etc. At the same time they fall into the traps of these biotech companies! Slowly every where it will be only these GM crops that will be grown. The natural seeds of that crop are no longer available! Imagine what would happen if every farmer on this planet starts growing a GM tomato!

Or let us assume that for practical purposes, about 70% of farmers are growing GM tomato and 30% (since they have some common sense left and are not greedy) are growing natural tomato. Now the biotech companies increase the rate of GM seeds, or say cancel the licenses for some reason. Now, even if GM farmers want to switch to natural seeds, where is the supply for the 70% farmers? Can 30% of the farmers supply seeds of natural crops to 70% of them?

Gene Terminators

Well, this is even more dangerous. Agro biotech companies are using gene terminator technology to ensure that the poor farmers cant grow their patented GM crops illegally(?).

The gene terminator technology used in producing GM seeds ensures that the second generation plants of these self destruct! In other words, if you buy a GM seed from these companies and then grow a GM crop and then use the seeds of this crop to generate more second generation crops, then, lo, they commit suicide!

This is a crime against nature and against life on this planet. To quote Mike Adams “To deny farmers the ability to propagate seeds from one generation to the next is to enslave humanity in a system of corporate control that violates the laws of nature and God. Care to take a guess which U.S. corporation is engaged in this activity? If you guessed Monsanto, you’re right.“. Read more here...

Political Tool

Like all other technological advantages, this can also be used as a political tool by American government. Since these are patented by american companies, just imagine what will be the scenario if most of India is growing GM crops! We have to pay whatever license fee these companies demand! We cannot grow these crops if these companies refuse to renew the license!

By further fine tuning the genetic modifications, these companies can even sell comparatively low yield seeds to Indian farmers and sell relatively high yield seeds in US! This will give the US crops a competitive edge over Indian ones!

The agro biotech companies will be controlling the entire food chain from growing of crops, providing seeds to the final end product used by the consumers!

Health Implications

If nature has a specific genetic design for a crop, then there will be some reason to it. Genes are not independent stand alone units where you change one gene or add one and nothing else in that crop will be affected! 97% of human genome was thought to be junk and only recently researchers have realiszd that it is not junk and has its own role in making other 3% work. Changing or inserting a gene might add some new functionality, but at the same time what is the guarantee that it has not screwed up some existing feature of the crop? How can we guarantee that a GM banana has the same benefits of a natural banana?

For those in India relying on the benefits and cure of herbal medicinal systems like Ayurveda, can we consider the GM banana to have the same ayurvedic features of a natural banana? Imagine the implications when we start substituting GM crops for natural ones in Ayurveda! Then if it doesnt work, you will find people saying Ayurveda is wrong! Without even knowing the actual truth.

Seedless grapes! Have you ate it? Well, now they are useless grapes! Seedless grapes are GM grapes, the benefit? well they are seedless. But is that all? Well, as I said, they are useless too. If you have heard that grapes are good for heart and so, are eating grapes, then seedless grapes are useless for you! Because the best natural cardio vascular medicine good for your heart muscles is found in the seeds of grapes! I hope food is not a fancy item, to say you want seedless, skinless, etc

God knows what other food benefits you are missing by consuming GM food with missing parts in it!

Take the example of Mexico. The Mexican farmers are alleging that their natural corn crops have been contaminated by American Genetic corn. Biotech companies might have patented these crops. But how will the pollinating bees know about it. They dont differentiate between natural and GM crops, do they?

Now corn is also being genetically modified to be used as a source of ethanol, to produce alternate fuel for petroleum. But lo, this is not that corn which can be consumed. You cannot eat this corn, because it is NOT meant for that. The mexican farmers allege that their corn might also be contaminated by this non-consumable variety of corn! Imagine eating corn which is actually meant to run your car!

See this news report on washington post and also this letter from the president of the american corn growers association. Finding a difficult time in Europe and to some extent in US too, these companies are pushing their GM crops into a relatively unaware India. Remember the Monsanto – BT cotton row and farmers protest a few years back in India?

The GM products are NOT tested for their long term implications on consumer health. By testing I mean the effects on human health on consuming these products over a period of years!

Some of these GM companies were also sued by vietnam victims for war crime! See this report . The victims alleged that the defoliant chemical used by American army against the vietnam, called the agent Orange was produced by these companies. Agent orange was a herbicide sprayed by the US military planes on Vietnam forests to cause trees to shred off their leaves so that the US forces can see the vietnam soldiers and kill them! Only later it was found that agent Orange was indeed highly carcinogenic – it causes cancer. Poor innocent vietnamese people who are even today paying a price for this blunder.

Let me give you an example. The milk sold in USA is the milk obtained by giving hormonal injections to the cows for higher yield. At the same time as a side effect of this unnatural production, this milk also contains a larger content of growth hormone protein! This is the same growth hormone protein in humans too! This is NOT supposed to be given to the body unnaturally, It has to be produced inside the body naturally. But this is the milk that they drink in America! The result, most girls in American today have puberty even before they reach the natural age for it!

For those in India, the next time you get milk make sure it is from a natural source. Better buy it directly from a milk vendor nearby who owns cows. They don’t give hormonal injections to their cows. The milk you get in Indian villages where the milk vendor milks the cow early morning and supplies the milk at your door step, is the milk in its true natural form. These cows are worshiped and there is no unnatural treatment of any kind given to these cows.

Ever since I came to know about the story of genetically modified products I have even stopped eating American Corn!! Next time you buy a food product, make sure there is no GM content in it.

Else while you think you are eating corn, it might actually have a bit of firefly in it! What you think to be Potato might have a bit of Moth in it! See images below from a video published on youtube at – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGAzKDTxwxI

And who knows! There have been no long term studies of the effects of GM products on humans! What happens if you eat GM food for 5-10 years? Well, nobody has tested that! Probably you might be offering yourself as an experimental sheep for this testing! You eat GM food at your own risk! Beware next time you see very fat and long banana, huge tomatoes etc. In UK GM food is always marked as Genetically Modified. In US as of today, GM food is not separately marked as GM food. I don’t think that in India it is marked as GM food either!

Below are two videos posted on youtube related to the GM controversy. The first one is about Genetically Modified food. The second one is about the effects of consuming milk produced by giving hormonal injections to cows!

Alien Twist to God – Part 1 Wednesday, Mar 21 2007

In this series of blogs I am going to  put forward my case about whom we know about as Gods in true form being aliens who visited earth in those ancient times and who gave us the technology which we had lost for a long time which is been hidden in the ancient Indian texts – Vedas

There are two important texts here – Mahabharatha and Vedas – both of which are sacred to Hindus, but for me they are great historic and scientific works respectively

Mahabharatha is the history of those times and Vedas is the knowledge the people then had.. Veda Vyasa is the author who wrote Mahabharatha and COMPILED the vedas.. Vyasa is said to have compiled, in other words wrote a collective text on all the knowledge we had in those days.. Veda itself in sanskrit means Complete Knowledge.

Mahabharatha is the world’s largest epic, but ask me, its not just a piece of fiction, but a well documented ancient human history..

Let me say why before going into what that history really means..

It is the story which deals with about 3-4 generations for most of its part.. but the entire epic gives details of about 50-55 successive generations of emperors and contemporary kingdoms, their geographies, life style of people, whole chain of relations between royal families, geographical locations and borders of kingdoms, events etc and almost all these locations mentioned have been mapped to some or other place in contemporary India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Chinese areas…

Even in the war scenarios great deal of explanation is given about each weapon used

For every event in the epic there is an astronomical date assigned

If the author was just writing a story, what was the need for him to go into such a great detail? This very single historian point of view convinces me that it is well documented history.

Before we start what the history tells us.. well much of it is my own point of view.. let me tell the reader that Oppenheimer, the father of modern atomic bomb which was dropped on Japan, believed that ancient Indians had the nuclear technology and this he believed because of the verses of Bhagavadgita (which is a narration part in Mahabharatha about the duties of a human being and about the nature of nature, in fact Bhagavadgita is the best psychological work I have ever read!)

Some lines in Mahabharatha describe a weapon of mass destruction used and this description matches completely with a nuclear bomb. This was what oppenheimer was referring to as ancient Indian nuclear technology. The muschroom cloud, the radiation burns, the blast wave after the nuclear explosion, all these are explained in detail.. It says ‘Soldiers tried to escape from the fire and jumped into water, yet they could not escape’, this is what radiation does, even water cannot save one from radiation burns!!!

The current human population on earth is approx 6 billion.. In Mahabharatha it is said that in the final war which lasted for less than a month, 14 billion people were killed!!! Two things get clear here..

First, only WMD Weapons of Mass Destructions can kill so many people in such a small time..

Second and more important, it looks like this has been a repeating cycle  on this planet where a civilization reaches its technological peak and then destroys itself using the same technology when a world war is triggered.. and the cycle starts again where people start inventing things from scratch.. If only in the past 500 years we have achieved all the technology we have today, it makes me impossible to believe that humans who had the same brain that we have today for the past 2 million years ( as per evolution theory) didn’t achieve anything else!!!!! If the same brain could invent so much in 500 years, what reason can anybody give to say that for the past so many thousand years our same brains were idle???

More in Part II tomorrow… about Aliens visiting earth, alien wars on earth, opposition to cloning and genetic experiments mentioned in Mahabharatha, the villains in Mahabharatha were a result of cloning/test tube babies (totally 100 kids born to a single mother where the 100 foetus were kept in special pots for the babies to develop), sanskrit being an language of alien origin ( and thats y the only language eligible to be a computer programming language due to its scientific correctness!), etc

Kissing – A risky business?? Tuesday, Mar 13 2007

 I read this article about researchers being able to store ‘E=mc2 1905′ in a bacterial DNA. Genetic material is becoming the biological harddisk. Bacteria will be the future thumbdrives, USB drives and what not.

You dont need to take backups any more as bacteria replicate themselves in no time you will end up with multiple copies of the same data. No need to burn DVDs or backup on tape drives any more!!! Bacteria on an average need 20 mins to divide. So the bottom line is once in every 20 mins you can double the number of your backups!!

My thoughts then went even further!!

Bacterial backup are bioderadable, no need to worry about disposing unwanted data!!

What’s more striking is the thought about storing one’s private information. No need to store your private info in any external device anymore. Because there is always a risk that somebody might steal the device, say your mobile memory or your hard disk or a DVD.. So I thought why not instead store the info in bacteria and then store the bacteria within us!!

Humans have a great variety of oral bacteria in our mouth. They are harmless and always stay there, except that if you dont brush properly they will increase in n folds and will cause a bad breath!

So cant we store all our personal info in these oral bacteria!! This storage seems to me a lot more safer option than storing our personal info like credid card details, passwords, bank account numbers, social security data etc in some external device.

But be careful then, your saliva contains your personal data, dont get seduced by a stranger and start kissing, you risk your private data by doing so, Data thefts by kissing might be a common news item in the future

But you are at a risk even while you brush, somebody might be waiting down the sewage line hunting for your oral bacteria! Spitting becomes a risky business.. A better way out would be to encrypt the data in the bacteria so that only you can decrypt it..

Store the decrypting key, where else, in your brain!!

24/7 Health Monitoring Systems for Human Body Monday, Mar 12 2007

With a combination of nano technology, biotechnology and information technology humans in the future can have a 24/7 health monitoring system in and around their bodies.

Tiny molecular nanobots will be designed as expert systems on general health monitoring and will be injected into our body where they will stay forever. They will be travelling via the blood stream to all parts of body 24/7 tirelessly ensuring that all is well. Nanobots will have both basic and advanced functional knowledge and measurement apparatus to monitor hte body’s health.

As and when there are any threats to the body, internal or external, these nanobots will alert the external devices which will guide the person towards immediate measures to be taken to address the issue and at the same time the device will inform your family physician about the updated new status via the internet!

By the way this external device could be a part of your shirt’s button or a tattoo on your body!

When you go to the toilet everyday, the glucose measuring system in the toilet will make sure that your blood sugar levels are normal. This will ensure that you can identify diabetes in very very early stages!!

When there is an external virus/bacteria attack, the nanobot in your body will take a genetic finger print of the attacker and email the same to your physician’s server where the finger print is matched with known virus/baterial list and the details about the microbe is known without even having to take a blood sample from your body and all this happens much before your body starts to respond to the external invasion in the form of fever. In other words, you can treat external microbeal attacks without having to wait for your body to show symptoms like fever, cough, pain, headache etc

In case of an accident, say an accident in a street, the external device using its GPS tracking service pinpoints your current location exactly and rushes the SOS call to the nearest ambulance service with accurate details of your current location!! No issues even if there is nobody around you at the time of accident, the ambulance will arrive asap. The same holds good in case of a heart attack too!! Also, you can expect the external device to do basic first aid services and to give you appropriate instructions….

Today cancer can be detected only when it reaches an advanced stage where cure is difficult as the cancer cells would have started spreading out across the body.. Not so with nanobots around.. nanobots can detect a cancerous tumor in a very early stage of growth and all you have to do is have a intake of expert nanobots which are specialized in destroying cancer cells.

The nanobots based expert system acts as a complementary system to our body’s immune system. Well, ah, nanobots can also give slight electric shocks to restart a heart that has just stopped!! Expert nanobots can dissolve kidney stones at an early stage without you even feeling the slightest pain!! Well, they can even throw out unwanted cholesterol and fats!!!

All these are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come..

Well, as far the energy needs of these nanobots are concerned, either we can use disposable nanobots which will pass out of the body in the form of waste once their molecular batteries drain out.. or we can develop a more complex nanobot which use the body’s cellular energy currency ATP for their energy needs….

Finally, with the advent of genetics, we can incorporate this whole nanobot technology as part of our genetic make up where in every cell has its own health monitoring system which reports a organ level health monitor which in turn reports to a entire body level health monitor which then are required accesses and updates the external health monitor. You know I personally believe in a multi layered spread out defense system (even if the layers are bit weak its fine, have hundreds of different layers)rather than a single strong layer.. In case of a single layer system when the layer fails, the entire system fails.. not so in case of a multi layered system…

A multi layered defense system with adequate fall back mechanisms is what made internet withstand the recent DDOS attacks….

Super human body, mast maja maadi

Goodbye AIDS? A Lateral Solution Sunday, Mar 11 2007

Does HIV virus kill a person? No
Does AIDS kills a person? No

Well, AIDS is a situation where HIV virus has destroyed the entire immune system in the infected person’s body leaving the body vulnerable to attack by any tom, dick and harry virus or bacteria. The body with AIDS wont be able to fight any viral/bacterial attack, since it is like a nation without any military establishment, and this is what kills the person. The killer might be a TB, flu, cholera any virus which faces no challenge in a body where HIV has destroyed the entire immune system. Note that HIV itself cant kill a person.

All these days scientists had been trying to develop a mechanism to fight against the HIV virus which has been difficult due to its highly mutative nature.

But considering the fact that the virus itself poses no danger to the person as long an infected person has his/her immune system up and running , a lateral alternate approach has been to recreate the destroyed immune system in an infected person’s body using modern gene invoking and gene disruption technology.

The funda behind this approach is to recreate the immune system in the infected person  using gene invoking technology which recreates the necessary T-Lymphocytes and other WBCs of our immune system but with a gene disruption which disrupts the CCR5 coreceptors in T-Lymphocytes ( Note that without these receptors on our immune cells HIV wont be able to attack the immune cells as it binds to these receptors before entering or immune cells)

So even though the person is HIV infected, now the new immune system cells are no longer vulnerable to HIV and hence can continue to fight other virus and bacteria normally as they did before.. and HIV by itself poses no threat unless and until it is able to destroy our immune system.. In other words, the person will never get AIDS even though he/she is HIV infected…

Happy researching scientists…

Factories of Human Body Parts Saturday, Mar 10 2007

Some date in the not so far future:

A guy is filling out an application form at ‘Humanware Bio Labs’ which reads as follows

Application Form – Human Body Parts

Name : V K Shastry

Age: 19

Stem ID: ASFE135254

Replacement Part: Left Hand

Reason: Lost in an accident

*************

Replaceable human body parts.. Does it sound like a science fiction? Not any more.. Today’s fiction are tomorrow’s facts…

Enter the stem cell technology.. For beginners, here it is.. Stem cells are those cells in our body which have the ability to grow into any part of our body..  Remember, we all started our life as a single cell… which later got multiplied into millions where some went on to become our hands, some into legs, some into heart and so on….

So what if we still have some of those cells which were there in us before our body grew into distinct parts that we have today? Well those are stem cells which are also present in the umblical cord when we were born. of course we even have some of them today in our bone marrows!! But the stem cells in the umblical cords during the time of our birth are more effective and efficient into growing into any of our body part..

So the idea is that as soon as a child is born, store its stem cells from the umblical cord in a stem cell bank, permanently.. God forbidden, sometime in the later if something tragic incident happens and say there is a kidney failure of the child (now probably a grown up adult), well no problems, just take out a stem cell from the reserve that had been stored earlier and invoke the genes that will grow into a full size kidney!! What’s more? Well, the body will never reject this new kidney as it was created from one of its very own stem cell!! No more organ rejections.. No more donor searches… No more risks in organ transplants…

If a person loses a leg in an accident, no problem get a brand new leg attached…

As long as we continue to use our science and technology to create nuclear reactors for power, no problem, we make steady progress ahead..

The problem starts when we think of using the spent nuclear fuel to create an nuclear bomb….. Let us learn the fact that nuclear explosions are meant to take place only on stars to fuel us… Too near is too bad..

Can death be avoided? Tuesday, Mar 14 2006

Back to my blog after reading a mail just a few minutes back complaining about my irregular blogging!!
Here comes another crazy thought!!
Can we avoid death????
After all, what is death? our physical body gives up!!!! thats it.
And why does it give up?? Very simple, bcos its become old, one might say..
True, but HOW DOES IT KNOW that it has become old??
Moreover, WHY SHOULD IT GIVE UP EVEN IF IT HAS BECOME OLD??
Except for neurons in the brain.. all other cells in our body continuosly die, divide, are born etc etc.. so all these cells are always a couple of months or weeks old..
Still the body knows about aging?? How??
Bcos right from our birth as cell division progresses the amount of toxic waste in the daughter cells increases in every successive generation.. and by the time we are old, we INDEED BECOME OLD bcos that n th generation of daughter cells has more useless substance than useful one… and thats when body starts giving up as its parts cannot perform its normal functionality..
so clean up all our cells right from generation one and control the toxin propagation to daughter cells and there we are !!! all set to beat aging.. anti-oxidants , vitamin c help a lot in this..
But my thoughts are even ahead of this.. we can further secure ourselves as follows..

Does it matter to us if our hands are replaced by new hands.. legs by new legs.. eyes by new eyes.. etc etc.. still we continue to be who we are.. there are handicapped people who are having their parts replacesd.. as bio tech and genetics advances almost all parts except for brain should become replaceable in the not so far future..

So if all our parts can be replaced.. then what is that makes us what we are???
Well the answer is our memories in this life.. other than that every other part of our body could be replaced…

So my suggestion is that once we become old enough so that our (first) body cant take it any more.. we can create a dummy body of our own by using cloning and cancer cell technology (cancer cell technology is required to make our dummy body grow faster so that we dont have to wait for years together.. yet, we can avoid this if we plan well in advance before we become old)

Then we should have already solved the mystery of how our brain stores information.. now what we need to do is transfer all memory from our present body to the young brain of our new young body formed by cloning.. then tahts it!! We perform the last rites of our old body…

A person can burn/cremate his own body.. by shifting a new young body..

and we continue to repeat this cycle…… so we have avoided natural death… even if some incurable disease attacks our body we can shift to a new body without being worried at all…

But what about unnatural deaths.. say a car accident??? Can we avoid this too!!!

Yes!! As I said earlier, the key to US is our MEMORIES.. as long as they are safe we can always be born again..

So to overcome unnatural deaths we need to have backup of our memories stored.. lets call them brain banks.. and we need to regularly take backup of our memories in these brain banks..

Now in case of an unnatural death of a person, we can still create a dummy body of him (remeber to clone a person a single left over cell is enough.. and also we can even have that backed up!!) then just transfer the memories from the backup in the brain bank to his new brain!! thats it he is reborn!! But this time minus the memories after his last backup.. thats y I insisted on frequent backups…

Suppose a person took his last backup on March 1.. met with a road accident and died on March 10… Now when he is reborn on he will not remember anything that he did after his last backup on March 1 and before his death on March 10.. other than that he is the same person….

Finally let me give a startling relevation of this technology.. if at all it is used…
suppose a person gets lost.. we have his latest brain backup.. his family thinks he is dead.. we create a new person of the same person using his brain backup.. and all are happy that he is still alive.. and later one day.. the lost person also returns!!!!! both these persons have same memories to a laaaaaaarge extent of their life!!! moral and ethical dilemna!!!!

What do we need death or confusion????
Also,if we dont die, dont we get bored in life after a few hundred years!!!

But as far as my observation of human evolution goes.. humans will opt for confusion than death if at all we get the technology what I spoke about… else we would not have evolved from adam to atom

Quantum level intelligence!! Wednesday, Jan 4 2006

Was just wondering about intelligence. Why only we humans are intelligent? Cant animals be intelligent as well. Just because they can’t think in terms of science and technology does it mean that they are not intelligent? Might be that they are limited by their physical capabilities. Or perhaps that they are no able to communicate to us what they think.

Is there intelligence at a deeper level? Well, yes, we know about our body organs. How well co-ordinated they all are. Heart pumps gallons of blood every day without any body asking it to do so. Our immune system fights against thousands of invaders every day without anybody asking it to do so. Kidneys filter our all the waste from our bodies every day without any body asking it to do so. One might object to this saying that all these organs are designed to do these activities. Well, but by who? If GOD is not the answer then these organs HAVE to be intelligent at their level to do so.

We will go a level deeper.. consider cells. How well co-ordinated the parts of a cell are. Mitochondria breaks down each glucose molecules into 24 ATP molecules to power the ribosomes which manufacture all required enzymes with the help of genetic decoding done by RNA polymerase. Cell doors are opened for useful substances to come in and for toxic wastes and cellular products to move out. Cells divide without anybody asking them to do so. A cell in your hand doesn’t divide finally growing a kidney even though it has enough information stored to grow a kidney on your hand! Remember an ear grown on a poor rat’s back as a result of an experiment by some bio-enthusiast? One might object to this saying that cells are designed to do all these activities. Well, but by who? If GOD is not the answer then cells HAVE to be intelligent at their level to do so.
Going even more deeper, we have the genetic code itself.

Entire life written using 4 simple alphabets A,T,G and C. How did this massive information organize itself? Evolving and learning throughout the process? Deciding on the need for different organs, enzymes, their roles, body structure, the physics and chemistry involved, reproduction, etc????? Genes have to be intelligent to do so!!!
At an acellular level… how did all different constituents of a cell decide to go and grow together for mutual benefit as a cell… mitochondria talked to ribosomes and golgi apparatues and endoplasmic reticulum and …. and they all decided to live together as a cell in the early stages of evolutions?????

Going a level further down.. molecules and atoms.. how did they decide about which is the best angle for them to bond together? without being intelligent?? even if the best bonds were selected as a result of few thousand random tries, who initiated these few thousand random tries?????

Get to the quantum level.. how does a meson know that its lifetime is over and it has to disintegrate?? how is the quantum entaglement and non-locality possible without intelligent quantum particles? Dont you feel things are much more complicated than we know? Dont you feel that we have taken all these things for granted without digging much deeper? Ask a baby who is still learning to walk properly and it will tell you how concentrated it needs to be while walking and how it has to evaluate its every step and ask me, I take walking for granted!!! We take intelligence for granted, without knowing that we have acquired it from our quantum past!!!
