Extrapolating the Micro World to the Macro Universe
Gravity dictates all creation
Let’s start with the beginning of life. The Earth itself is only about 4.5 billion years old, and life began in what scientists have described as a ‘primordial soup’. The first single-cell organisms developed in a soupy organic material, and then these organisms reproduced by splitting one cell into two. Darwin’s theory of evolution tells us that minor mutations lead to differences among the population, with some traits superior than others resulting in survival of the fittest. This process reiterated itself billions of times as life grew more and more complex.
As cells formed symbiotic relationships with each other, larger organisms were formed such as plants and fungi. The complexity only became more intricate, however, when cells formed specialized groups known as organs, through which symbiotic relationships with other organs can form organisms like animals. In the same way that the microscopic organelles in a cell function together to complete the cell’s purpose, the human body’s organs function in perfect equilibrium to sustain life. And if we ‘think outside the box’, we can take this yet another step further. Humans form symbiotic relationships with each other, with different people taking up different roles to complete the combined goal of society. Are we not, in this sense…
