When Albert Einstein said "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." Do you think he meant on a molecular level or do you think he meant look into the soul and heart of a animal?

Mark Mortin said...

Both, demonstrating the beauty of the statement. Though as you know, the church does not believe animals have souls. They of course are wrong, as it is man who often does not have a soul.

Pope John Paul II said "also the animals possess a soul and men must love and feel solidarity with our smaller brethern". I think he meant to include the enormous ones as well.

Mark Mortin said...

Well I agree that my dogs certainly possess souls, but a fruit fly? Come on....

Even a fruit fly. There was a PBS special about a fly I think it was a fruit fly and they took a video in slow motion and the fly actually backed away when it saw a shadow of I think it was a fly swatter! They are thinking and show animated characteristics which means they have a soul! The movie "Super Fly" carries merit. I think the experiments were conducted at Cal Tech. I can't remember the name of the program. Do you get PBS over there?

Just want to clarify. Super in this instance does NOT refer to Nietzschean philosophy.

I think the program was "NOVA". Do you get that over there?

You sound like BJR.

Mark Mortin said...

You think she/he is my sole mate?

Anonymous said...

Just because you sound like someone doesn't mean you are soul mates. Why is BJR your wife?

Anonymous said...

By the way, BJR is not me.

Mark Mortin said...

No I meant sole not soul. If I am her left, she is my right. Of course you are not BJR. I know BJR and you are not he/she. BJR at least has the fortitude to use her initials, SN.

Who is BJR?

Anonymous said...

That's probably why she used her initials because you "know" her.

She's your right hand "man". People are anonymous because they don't want to be taken advantage of or killed. Like Taliban informants. You don't want me to be killed or maybe you do. Do you? Sorry you feel that way. Or maybe you like to kill people that have a different point of view.

Fortitude is not according to Oxford dictionary a virtue of poets.

Do you think John McCain did not have fortitude when he was a POW in Vietnam?

Please don't dump on me.

Are you saying you found a new love? I certainly hope you find the real thing.

With the economy the way it is it doesn't hurt to be extra careful especially at your age.
