Intro

We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

Abiogenesis

Abiogenesis:  Mineral, Animal, Vegetable.  Princeton's wordnet defines it:  "a hypothetical organic phenomenon by which living organisms are created from nonliving matter".  It is one of many questions that buoy origin myth; for me it is just fascination.

Perhaps from a viewpoint of experience alone, using only information that one has sensed, a sort of solipsistic genesis could suggest where other life comes from and where humans come from.  Still, an assumption has to be made and credibility lent because no one (I've met) can reliably remember their own origin.  Funny thing, that.  This is the sixth episode.  Six was my favorite number in Latin.

This episode in honor of Tom Twilley:  biology instructor extraordinaire.
