Comments on: Must-see video on nature’s nanotechnology http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2340 examining transformative technology Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:23:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Mohanan, http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2340#comment-51844 Mohanan, Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:08:09 +0000 http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2340#comment-51844 Basic nature of all living beings ( animals) is fear , sex, and anger. IQ, EQ and SQ ( spiritual quotient) of Body, mind, and Intellect are the root cause of "Why do people are like what you said..." While all creatures and plants follow and live with the laws of nature, human race always found working against the law of nature!! So we are like what we had been, are , and will be.

Why are people so scared to live on this planet without belief in an 'alpha male in the sky'? Why do they need to believe in something invisible for which there is not the slightest bit of hard evidence? Why, why, why do people insist in being so insecure, illogical and pathetic? Now those are the questions that make me tired!

Nano-scientists have created an animation showing the nanotechnology involved in the “machinery of the cell.”
Who could have designed such a complex system at such a small, or shall I say nano level?

What are the chances that this whole mechanism self-assembled? The whole question makes me tired. It's like arguing about whether there are other civilizations in the Universe. Scientifically, we have to assume there isn't, because we have no evidence to the contrary. The spooling and looping of the DNA molecule along so as to allow individual genes to be expressed without unwinding the whole molecule is elegant and, one is tempted to say, ingenious. But we live in a scientific world where it is agreed that no intelligent beings could possibly have seeded life here. But doesn’t the word “technology” imply intelligent design?
