Francis Crick was one of those scientists who questioned the obsession with death machines(working for MOD). He decided to use his methods from theoretical physics, and transferred them to biology. He was also known for his wild parties. DNA seems like firmware. Dawkins talks of the code being indestructible. 'Replicators are no longer
peppered freely through the sea; they are packaged in huge colonies-
individual bodies. And phenotypic consequences, instead of being evenly
distributed throughout the world, have in many cases congealed into
those same bodies. But the individual body, so familiar to us on our
planet, did not have to exist. The only kind of entity that has to exist in
order for life to arise, anywhere in the universe, is the immortal replicator.'(The Selfish Gene). If we start to look at ourselves, and history from the point of view of DNA, then all of life on the Earth is one entity, and DNA solves the problem of existing on a damp rock, flying around a gaseous star.![[Image: earth-eye.jpg]](http://theunboundedspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/earth-eye.jpg)
It will continue to propagate, until it confronts another entity.(just thinking!)
