A private investor for 20+ years, I manage private portfolios and write about investing. You can read my market musings on three different sites: 1) The Deipnosophist, dedicated to teaching the market's processes and mechanics; 2) Investment Poetry, a subscription site dedicated to real time investment recommendations; and 3) Seeking Alpha, a combination of the other two sites with a mix of reprints from this site and all-original content. See you here, there, or the other site!

The Thread of Life

One reader, Hyman Shwarzberg, writes to encourage me to... Well, read his letter for yourself! I viewed the video, and was appropriately astounded.

================================

Watch this Harvard biology video.

As a medical student in the early 1980's, I was often astounded at the beyond mind-numbing complexity and beauty of biology and cellular function and the remarkable wisdom that the sciences have unveiled.

But this video magnificently brings out a minute portion of the orchestrated activities that contribute to life.

After learning biology and watching this video (which is not even the proverbial tip of the iceberg), I cannot fathom that anyone can believe that life was created by accident. This is just a nanofraction of what goes on inside a cell, let alone an organ, let alone a whole creature.
