The Philosopher Wonders


The Philosopher Wonders

As he mused on an egg, there were no bones, no flesh, no beak, no feet, no wings, no eyes, no ears, no voice, no down, no intestines, no motion, no life, ... before. How it changes so fast, but just in 21 days the egg becomes a baby chick and is alive. Man never could create an egg with such superb qualities out of nothing.

And as he saw a rose he was enraptured. How wonderful it was that it was red, and fragrant, it had green leafs and a stem while the earth on which it grows has no red, no green colors, no smell, no fibre, no form, ...

A sheep eats grass and doesn’t err to become a cow, a deer, who also eats grass.

Then, when enters what we call life into a being and where does it go?

What is life, death? The living would choose life, as life is wonderful, so precious, so dear, not death as death is a scare and the dead would also choose death, as death is also wonderful, a heaven, not life.

The scientist remarks, “Oh it’s just a question of DNA and biology, as simple as that.”
