I thought only reductionist physicists believed in a ToE. Energy crisis, religion, science, intelligence. Everything is reducible to self-organizational principles. Will the real reductionist please stand up?tragicmishap

Thanks DaveScot,
I see a number of intriguing things in these videos.
1 - Kauffman does a fairly good job of describing the mystery that exists in biology.
2 - I have spent some energy puzzling about fish bladders. The current theory, the theory he suggests, for how fish bladders arose is that they developed out of lung fish. However, I believe that salmon, and salmonoids such as trout have fish bladders. How did these fish get fish bladders if fish bladders are lungs. This hypothesis seems ludicrous to me.
3 - Kauffman suggests that we worship the creativity of nature, but that we don't recognize thiis creativity as "God". In this he does a few things -- he brings the biological sciences way into the realm of religion, and he maintains his status with the community as a secularist.bFast
