the bear’s gene segment must have the same sequence in almost all nearby universes as it does in ours. That is because it is presumably highly adapted, which means that most variants of it would not succeed in getting themselves copied in most variants of their environment, and so could not appear at that location in the DNA of a living bear. In co

The point is that any variation among capillaries is extremely small compared with the many orders of magnitude variation in body size. For instance, even if the length of mammalian capillaries varied by a factor of two, this is still tiny compared with the factor of 100 million in the variation of their body masses.

The size of the chambers of the nautilus and the number of clockwise grooves to counterclockwise grooves in the pineapple are governed by this sequence. This is why their ratios approach the golden ratio.

Everything is made of atoms. That is the key hypothesis. The most important hypothesis in all of biology, for example, is that everything that animals do, atoms do. In other words, there is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics. This was not

Bruce Lipton’s The Biology of Belief and evolution biologist Elizabet Sahtouris’s Earth Dance: Living Systems in Evolution, scientifically validate the body as other than flesh and bone.
