Great talk from a great speaker! Can't wait to listen to more talks from this conference!

Quite interesting lecture. Thank you. I must add, no one ever mentions the end comments in Crick's book that development of DNA /RNA would have taken much too long to have evolved on planet Earth; the Earth not being old enough.

Great talk but 2500 years too late...lookup Krishna....when Western Science in a couple centuries sounds exactly like Hindu philosophy then our Science will be as developed as it ever can be

I dread the slaughter, inferred by his knowledge, of these and other fairy-like creatures. Tough Universe - we all must eat. Were I the creator, I would design a Universe such that all energy-requiring creatures would draw that energy from space - all those space 🚀 clouds out there full of every possible molecule, just hanging around.

Thelogians? Is this some kind of sick joke?
