There is a scene in the movie Terminator 2, where the next generation terminator \u2013 who had morphed himself into a cop \u2013 is frozen solid after a tanker truck filled with liquid nitrogen spills its load all over him. As a result, he breaks up and disintegrates into a thousand little pieces. But \u2013 through some miraculous technology \u2013 the little frozen pieces thaw out quickly and a bit like like liquid mercury – roll together back into a cohesive mass and eventually reconstitute the deadly cop\/terminator who continues the pursuit of Terminator 1 and his young prot\u00e9g\u00e9.<\/p>\n
What I want to take from the above episode is the fact that something with an incredible creative ability\u00a0 was destroyed \u2013 either wilfully or by accident \u2013 is able to reconstitute itself; that it has this inherent ability.<\/p>\n
So \u2013 taking this recovery model into an analogy \u2013 what if the origin of the cosmos was also a calamity (the “Big Bang” scenario), in which something was destroyed that has the ability recover, and which is now trying to reconstitute itself. This scenario would offer the picture that within each particle in the universe resides the capacity to assemble itself back into ever increasing levels of organizational complexity so that it can become whole once again and regain control of its being. In this process, it is able to morph into whatever shape it has access to given its current environment in order to regain its desired integrity. This would account for all the creativity, drive and determination that evolution continues to demonstrate.<\/p>\n
Pure speculation, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
