The Meaning of Life

Category: Cosmos
Posted on: April 7, 2008 4:55 PM, by Greg Laden

I have a theory that cinema and other forms of fiction often arise not from pure creativity, but from prescience. It is not the case, when this happens, that "life imitates art" but rather, that art predicts life. It is only a matter of figuring out which so-called 'creative' manifestations are predictive of reality in order to understand the deep secrets of nature.

After much analysis, the details of which I shall provide later, I have been able to determine that The Force ... yes, I'm talking about The Force as in Star Wars, is real, and is the determining element for evolution and for life itself. Details below the fold.

What are you trying to say - that Luke didn't actually destroy the Death Star, and it's still out there, coming for us?

I find your lack of faith ... disturbing.
