Bligh was unfairly maligned. His crew mutinied, but only because they wanted to keep having orgies with Tahitian sex slaves and Bligh wanted to keep to the mission. He was set adrift with a dozen loyalists and saved all of their lives by navigating thousands of miles with nothing but a compass on a fucking life boat. One of the most impressive feats of human sea faring ever. Stupid Mel Gibson

If I was a creationist (I'm definitely not) this is definitely what I would cite as the strongest evidence of a creator. It truly boggles the mind that random interactions of molecules can lead to something like a cell which is way more than the sum of its parts - and it's driven by the same forces that pull the rock from your hand to the floor. Going into my biology education I thought the cell was just a house to protect fragile DNA. But the cell is really what you are... The DNA contains instructions to build the first cell of your life but after that the DNA is not involved in cellular division. It's just chemistry and ultimately physics. Is that right? It makes me think we have no free will and everything is just what happens when you have a big Bang and let billions of years happen.

So the shape of the centromeres dictates they behave in this complex manner of arrangement? Is it like a child's toy where squares fit into squares and circles fit into circles? I still struggle to understand how this can happen with zero guidance from a brain. It's just the shape of the molecules? What you described they do is so complicated.

This is a great description of what happens, but where are the instructions for all of this located? It's been explained to me that it's nothing but molecules bumping into each other but it sounds so complex it's hard to understand that.

This is remarkable to me. I don't know why this isn't talked about more. Every inch of us is composed of cells - yet the function of these cells (you could almost say the function of "you") is entirely a chemical process based on random interactions. The spindle emerging and grabbing hold of chromosomes and arranging them in the middle and splitting them into different sides - this intelligent looking process is fundamentally the same as pouring oil into water. Do I have that right?

The information in the DNA is what contains the instructions for our body, correct? Does the DNA also contain instructions for how the cell works? Or is this a separately evolved system that works based on molecules bumping into each other? Can I conceive of the cell as almost a separate life form that exists inside of me?

What's another example of a passive interaction? Maybe this would help me understand. To me the entire process of cell division is mysterious. I don't understand how something requiring careful arrangement can be non-neurological.

Chemical interactions? I still don't get how the spindles know which chromosomes to grab and what to do with them.

Human: Hey computer!

Computer: What?

Human: Using perfect logic please give us world peace!

Computer: Your wish is my command

Computer: kills all humans
