Questions I've attempted previously, publicly, and at some length.
E.g., 1 2 3 and 4.
How much of the essay have you read? |
There is a problem with this chart in that you have made all creatures with a central nervous system, equivalent when they clearly are not. Then you assert that all creatures with a CNS can participate in the exesential passage, this also is problematical. The conscious awareness of these different creatures are not equivalent and they would not be compatable for passage. You have used the lowest common denominator and this will not work. The differences must be taken into account. If Passage is real it will only work from human to human, other animals probably do not pass, or if they do it is within species. .
