Sorry Percy- Will DO.
I only asked because if Gary had somehing MORE emergent in mind then I was willing to consider to try to think to 1 from 2 as in the opening post.
quote:
1 - This is the evolutionairy formula for making a universe:
Nothing+nothing=two elements+time=92 natural elements+ time = all physical laws and a completely structures universe of galaxies, systems, stars, planets, and moons orbiting in perfect balance and order.
2 - This is the evolutionairy formula for making life:
Dirt + water + time = living creatures.
and hence from a what'' I personally consider to be the "nothing" in an emergent property that some one else might have had, to at least an element etc etc.
