In 2007 scientists declared that they are creating life. Is it hype or truth? Now in 2010, scientists are examining the facts and finding mainly hype but there is progress in modifying living systems which is called synthetic biology. But have scientists really created life?

Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Where there’s methane there’s life? Scientists find that much of the methane  (one carbon atom connected to four hydrogen atoms) in our atmosphere is produced by microbes. Now NASA scientists find methane on Mars and the amounts are changing suggesting that microbes might be producing it. Although there are also other possible explanations for the release of methane other than life, the findings are tantilizing.

Want to push an emotional button? How about just the mention of creationism? Or Islam? Or Evolution? Or Fundamental Christianity? So I want to really push your buttons by discussing all of them plus throwing in “religion.”

The New York Times’ (Science Section November 3, 2009 title: Creationism without a Young Earth emerges in the Islamic World) discusses a version of creationism rarely discussed–That not all creationism theories are the same!

Scientists are like Joe who lost his car keys at night and spent an hour looking unsuccessfully for them under a lamp post. His friend asked why didn’t elsewhere. Joe said: “Because this is the only place with light.” Scientists are searching for the truth of our world with even a narrower perspective!

Markandeya is a long time student of Dattatreya Siva Baba. Markandeya experienced a miraculous recovery from HIV & AIDS over 8 years ago, had a major heart procedure with anesthesia and has many other “miracles” in his life.

His show is about how you can experience miracles in your life.

I had the pleasure and honor to be his guest on Energy Talk Radio.

Several of you have been puzzled by my website “blog” posts and newsletter announcements from divergent field of science as to how they relate to Healing the Rift.

I hope that this will help tie them together.

Facts:

1. My book, Healing the Rift: Bridging the Gap between Science & Spirituality, laid the foundation for the assertion that we live in a universe of mind, consciousness, and spirit.
2. On my radio show and on over 100 radio and television interviews I told of how the 21^st century would be the century of the mind.
3. In 2009, just a few months after Healing the Rift was released an announcement was published in one of the world’s leading scientific journals that a single molecule (called a nanoparticle) could act as an AM radio receiver (and by inference as an AM radio transmitter).
4. I posted a blog on my website referencing this publication and I speculated that perhaps first life and all life was about tuning in and broadcasting the universal mind described in Healing the Rift.
5. Within a few months another publication (again in a world-class scientific journal) revealed that bacteria separated from each other in glass tubes could communicate by electromagnetic energy or what some might call “bacterial ESP.” Prior to this publication the scientific dogma was that bacteria could only communicate by chemical signals or touch. Again I posted this on my blog.
6. Then just a few weeks ago, again in a world-renown scientific journal, scientists revealed that microorganisms could anticipate the future somewhat like a dog can be trained to salivate upon hearing a bell ring! Again I posted this reference on my website blog.

How can single-celled microbes think without a brain or even a single nerve cell? All this is evidence that all life is connected and that all life is connected to each other and the universal mind which I described in Healing the Rift.

Seem outlandish? The articles are referenced on my website and are NOT in New Age magazines but instead in the most prestigious scientific (and peer-reviewed) journals in the world!

Stay tuned to my radio show, newsletters, and website—Such evidence is only the beginning of many to follow.

Steve Ryals is my guest on the Leo Kim radio show 1 pm Pacific Time July 29, 2009 (and archived on July 31 for listening anytime 24/7). Steve went from homeless and shooting drugs at age 17 to graduating from UC Berkeley on the Dean’s list six years later. He is a minister of the Universal Life Church, a licensed massage therapist, and a Reiki therapist.

Steve attributes his current health and happiness to his direct experience that “healing takes feeling” and says that the health, safe, and appropriate sharing of feelings is key to a wonder-filled life.

Join me when we discuss his new book: Drunk with Wonder:  Awakening to the God within.

Nerve cells make up the brain. Whether a lowly worm has a brain can be debated but they have a few hundred nerve cells, while a fly has 100,000 campared to a human’s 100,000,000,000. But are any of these necessary to make decisions? If not then mind (if mind is the one making decisions) doesn’t depend on brain or even nerve cells. The latest scientific findings show that single cell creatures such as bacteria and yeast are making such decisions!
