Scientists have called for a wider search for alien life. With more than one hundred billion galaxies in the universe, each containing hundreds of billions of stars and goodness know how many planets, it’s possible that even in the absence of any proof whatsoever, ’scientists’ are rational in their belief that there’s probably alien life ‘out there’ and justified in the millions of dollars they want to spend in hunting it down.

Yet no one understands how the mind arises from the mindless matter of a human being. Although many scientists and materialists believe that mind is a mere epiphenomena arising from the complexity of the brain, no one knows how consciousness actually arises.

Isn’t it therefore rational to postulate that, with the trillions upon trillions of interconnections in the universe, from the electrical and chemical signaling between cells and neurons to the gravitational ‘communication’ between the stars and planets, man’s consciousness and even alien consciousnesses are not the only ones out there? Indeed, could the universe itself have a mind?

I think it is and ask, “Is God the mind of the universe?”
