It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches." (Luke 13:19 TNIV)
I enjoy science. I always have. From my earliest memories, my strongest subject in school was mathematics, not language arts. When I was old enough to start considering a career, I immediately began looking at the sciences. Since Computer Science was the latest and greatest of the sciences of the time, that became my choice. Had it not existed, I most probably would have found myself in some variation on the theme of Physics. I like figuring out how things work.
Because of my pension for scientific endeavors, I also enjoy the process. I find comfort in the Scientific Method with it's hypotheses, observations, testing, adjusting, and retesting. I like knowing the limits of the measuring equipment and accurately reporting the data down to the correct number of significant digits. I like when an hypothesis tests well enough to become a theory and, over time, finally earns the status in the scientific community of "Law." I'll say it again. I like figuring out how things work.
So, I have an hypothesis. I know this is not a blog going out to the greats of the scientific community, but I just thought I'd throw it out there for anyone who would like to hear it.
My hypothesis is this: "All living beings come from other living beings."
There...I said it. What do you think?
I'll unpack this a little more in future entries, but for now I'll leave it there.
Yep! :)
