Seeds...

Hmmmm...where did seeds come from.  Through carbon dating and the scientific tools we have, it is estimated that the age of the earth is around 4.6 billion years old.  For all the research done, dinosaur's apparently roamed the earth for millions of years before the appearance of mankind. This time period of millions of years is just a very small segment of the 4.6 billion years.  A question I raise is, during the time of dinosaurs, they had food to eat.  Many ate each other as do other animals do today, yet many ate plants, again as they do today.  So Plants have been around for quite some time.  Along with plants I would imagine insects have also been around long before man.  With our vast study of plants, hundreds of thousands of species have been identified.  All the plants have one thing in common.  They all need water to survive.  Another thing in common is that most of them come from a seed.  Each seed contains a code.  The code from one seed type to another is different. This code is built in and is the information, when properly hydrated and nourished by the soil, to begin a process which develops into a plant and in time creates more seeds of its same type, to continue the process.  Just to name a few seeds to think about, an apple seed, a peach seed, a mustard seed, a chili seed, a radish seed, a lemon seed, a lime seed.  All unique is color, shape and taste. Where did this code come from?  Is it possible for the code to just happen?  Then back to the dinosaur's.  Hundreds of species have been identified.  Some came from eggs and some were born. Each one contained a code which signified their development.  This code determined their size, shape, color, sex, temperaments and health.  In the mid 1800 AD, man kind, long after the period of dinosaurs, learned that this code, was what became know as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).  DNA is a far more complex code than any computer code as we know it today.  It has been around since the beginning a life.

Where do we fit in...provoking thoughts

A computer program is nothing more than a series of letters and symbols, placed together in a specific order, called code which all together formulates the computer program.  I would suggest that the person who writes the code could be called the creator of that program.  With the written code, the computer is able to do a specific tasks, such as in photography, adjust color, contrast, hue, shaprness, size, zoom in/zoom out, deleted parts of an image, remove unwanted parts, draw shapes, add labels and so on, just to name a few.  Other parts of the program allows the image to be printed or to be transferred to another person.  We now have thousands of programs which are intened to make out life easier and more convienent. There is even a thing now called a virus, which is written code, which is designed to infect the regular computer code, to disrupt the correct operation or functioning of a computer program.  All this has occurred basically within the past 25 years and gets more complex with each passing day.  Computers require more memory to be able to run the code as they become more and more complex and do more complicated tasks.  Interestingly enough, this code is nothing new.  I am pretty certain code has existed for billions of years.  Genetic code which is found in every living organism.  This built in code is a program, designed to create the growth of a specific object and when it is alive is a program to survive and do certain functions.  This code is contained in DNA, a complex biological, living code.
