Why are you intelligent ??
« on: 06/11/2011 17:41:57 »
Energy theory of evolution.     
Advanced theory of evolution.   
This theory is based on energy level and answers following questions-
1. Why nature requires intelligent creatures like Human beings ?
2. Why evolution occurs?
3. How soul can be found in body system? (A question of super science).
4. When soul leaves a living body? ( Mystery of death)

Statement-
Every system tries to have minimum energy in order to gain maximum stability by incorporating itself in a system which minimizes the energy of incorporated system by loss or utilization of energy in the form of physical or mental activity of incorporating system.
Various systems are-
Incorporated system- is system which is attached to another system called incorporating system usually larger than incorporated system.
Two or more systems will come together only if overall energy of resulting system is lowered.
Atomic system- is atom itself.
Molecular system- is two or more atoms together.
Body system-complex of molecular system.
Soul system-most stable part of body system.
Aim of every body system is to minimize energy of molecular system and soul system and all other systems which are part of the body system. Soul system leaves the body, if body system is unable to lower its energy level which causes death. A soul will attach itself to a body which can lower its energy and provide stability. Soul can be detected inside body if we can measure the energy level of various systems attached to body system, as soul is the most stable part of particular body system. Body system lowers energy by physical activity, mental activity and chemical activity. Since physical activity can be performed to a limited extent by body system, so mental activity evolved in body system which can be used in larger way to lower the overall energy of system. In an attempt to minimize energy, process of evolution came into existence. That is why creatures like Human being evolved who are using more mental and physical activity, which in combined leads to expense of energy and finally leads to stability of body and soul system.
 This is the reason for continuous evolution of intelligence and also the reason for evolution of creatures.

Your statement jumps around a little bit, so it is hard to follow.  Yes, the brain is energetically expensive.  However, there is a trade-off between the energetically expensive brain, and the ability to "work smarter", and thus either using less energy, or harvesting more energy.  And, of course, adapting to a more diverse environment.

There have been many arguments for a soul being a separate entity from the brain and physiology, but none have been proven.  You certainly need to better define what you consider to be the soul, and why you need to invent that concept.

I agree with CliffordK. Plus I don't think natural selection is always directly tied to to minimizing energy if there are adequate energy resources or an organism has advantages over its competitor.

Not really pandey_23ajay, we're all part of life's evolution according to Darwin, and the gene research we have done. Maybe there is a soul, maybe not, but we do seem to be able to have compassion and empathy, and that seems more important to me being on Earth than any 'soul' can be.

1. At this stage, it is difficult to define the chemical nature of soul, that is why i have considered it as a system which is subject of further research. As i said soul is most stable part of any body system, if we can devise an instrument in future which can measure stability of a system, then we can find the soul system, which can help us in soul transplantation like organ transplant.

2. Natural selection in organisms is based on concept of minimum energy, body system, which is most efficient to lower energy of soul system is selected by nature i.e natural selection.

I think the concept of a soul is a purely religious one having no scientific support or evidence.  To talk about transplanting a soul is for me a little bit far fetched and in my opinion belongs more in the realms of science fiction rather then science.

Assylum seeker "You don't believe in God, oh no! You will goto hell for sure."
Airthumbs "So what if I have a good heart and I am a good man?"
Assylum seeker "God will see you have a good soul and he will allow you into heaven."
Airthumbs "So you don't have to believe in God to avoid hell."
Assylum seeker "..........silence............."

Human souls? Animal souls? Insect souls? Plant souls? Bacterial souls?  Are there rules for things with and without souls? Again it's all a bit far fetched.  As always though this is my opinion and should some mad scientist create a machine that can somehow detect souls then I will eat my hat and all the other hats made throughout history in whatever state they may be.  [::)]

Aim of evolution is evolution of whole universe, it is not just that evolution of life on earth is restricted to welfare of earth, it is connected to whole universe and each and every material and non-material as well,it is related to basic particle responsible for origin of whole universe.soul system mentioned in this theory is related to evolution of this basic particle.
evolution of life is for whole universe and is not as simple as Darwin has thought.

Aim of such a big universe is evolution of elementary particle constituting the universe through evolution of soul system.

behind every religion, there is scientific base. science should believe on everything and disbelieve also, only then, science will grow.

In many senses, religion has developed pre-science.  Trying to come up with stories to explain events that happened during prehistoric times, but not really having a sound basis to explain those things. 

The religions also use their stories to justify ownership of the Earth, claiming that people were put here by God to be the good shepherds of the Earth.

Souls were invented by religion to explain what happens after death, and help explain the meaning of life.  But unfortunately the have no scientific basis.

evolution of life is for whole universe and is not as simple as Darwin has thought.

There has been a lot of research to explain the origins of the universe, and the origin of the basic elements in the Universe (Hydrogen), as well as the progression of metallicity over time within the stars and the planets. 

Other than being "our sun", there is no evidence that the sun is unique among the approximately 3x1023 stars in the universe.

There are many things that make life as we know it possible on Earth.  Just the right sun, temperatures, etc.  Plant life has transformed the atmosphere on Earth making human life possible.  This is completely independent of souls, and in general independent from the other 3x1023 stars in the universe.

There has been debate about cataclysms that have occurred in the past triggering mass extinctions, as well as spurts in evolution, both which eventually led to the evolution of mammals and humans.  Some of these cataclysms may have been associated with other stars and entities outside of our solar system.  But, they were not events controlled by anything such as the hand of God.  And, most of the major cataclysms that directed the evolution of humanity would have occurred before the evolution of humans, or even early hominids.  For example, the dinosaurs were wiped out about 60 million years before the evolution of the first early hominids.

Anyway, you can think of star-star interactions as basically Newtonian/Einsteinian physics.  Or, perhaps seemingly random events being triggered.  No souls, no destiny, just physical interactions.

Dear Clifford,
             
1. As I said, purpose of evolution of life on earth is connected to evolution of elementary particle responsible for origin and maintenance of whole universe and soul system is just provides path for evolution of this elementary particle,if there is no soul system, then life on earth is purposeless
(i would like to know purpose or importance of life on earth in this universe-please comment).
According to me life on earth is for evolution of whole universe in bigger perspective and should be visualized in that way.
2. Hydrogen is element and this theory is concerned with particles at quantum level.
3. evolution is not just competition and natural selection, it is related to quantum mechanics and soul system behaves at quantum level.

Pandey: a general housekeeping point... it's best if you keep your posts in sequence with the rest of the thread (rather than editing the top post) as that makes it clear for everyone reading which responses are to which posts.

Your assertions about the "body system" appear to be based on a near-total misunderstanding of thermodynamics. I suggest that you sit down with a good elementary undergraduate physical chemistry textbook, and fully understand the minimisation of energy on the micro-level.

if there is no soul system, then life on earth is purposeless
Why do you assume that life on earth is not purposeless? It seems to me that your "theory" comes from your instinctive wish to believe in a purpose to life, not from an interest in the realities of the universe.

Here you seem to have diverted far from established science, and discussion of the "soul system" is non-science.  Evolution is a biological process, and has no aim.  The soul is a metaphorical construct, and there is no evidence for it's material existance.  As it doesn't exist, it has no place in a scientific theory.

Dear Rosy,

=====================================================================================================
 your instinctive wish to believe in a purpose to life, not from an interest in the realities of the
====================================================================================================
universe.
=========

1. Do you think, such a big universe, lac of species, millions of human being, stars and planet are purposeless. saying that it is purposeful does not need any evidence, have you done anything which is purposeless. if not, how can you think that life on earth is purposeless. every event and activity in nature is well coordinated and purposeful.

2. In this hypothesis, there is interaction of micro (atomic system) and macro (body system) level leading to minimization of energy. interaction within micro level is well defined in your chemistry book but micro-macro interaction is not defined
                                                                               ======================================       
or written any present book of chemistry. how body system lowers energy of elementary particles i.e at micro level by physical and mental activity is a question of research. Please think and comment on this interaction.

3. i am not confused with concepts of chemistry but micro-macro interaction leading to minimization of energy must be studied and concepts should be revised.BEST OF LUCK, I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT CANDIDATE TO STUDY THIS.

Dear All,
Thanks to all who commented on this hypothesis.
Let us end the confusion of soul system, i am removing this particular concept from hypothesis (it requires more research) and proposing modified version. Please post your views on it.
              =================

Energy theory of evolution. (MODIFIED)
Advanced theory of evolution.
This theory is based on energy level and answers following questions-
1. Why nature requires intelligent creatures like Human beings ?
2. Why evolution occurs?
3. What is limit of evolution ?

Statement-
Every system tries to have minimum energy in order to gain maximum stability by incorporating itself in a system which minimizes the energy of incorporated system by loss or utilization of energy in the form of physical or mental activity of incorporating system.
Various systems are-
Incorporated system- is system which is attached to another system called incorporating system usually larger than incorporated system.
Two or more systems will come together only if overall energy of resulting system is lowered.
Atomic system- is atom itself.
Molecular system- is two or more atoms together.
Body system-complex of molecular system.
Particulate system- are particles below atomic level.
Aim of every body system is to minimize energy of molecular, atomic and particulate system and all other systems which are part of the body system. Body system lowers energy by physical activity, mental activity and chemical activity. Since physical activity can be performed to a limited extent by body system, so mental activity evolved in body system which can be used in larger way to lower the overall energy of system. In an attempt to minimize energy, process of evolution came into existence. That is why creatures like Human being evolved who are using more mental and physical activity, which in combined leads to expense of energy and finally leads to stability of atomic and molecular system.
 This is the reason for continuous evolution of intelligence and also the reason for evolution of intelligent  creatures.
In an attempt to further lower the energy level of atomic, molecular and particulate system, evolution will continue, more and more intelligent creatures will evolve; super intelligent human body system will emerge. But question arises, till what limit evolution will occur?
Once Body system is unable to further provide stability to molecular, atomic and particulate system, evolution for that particular body will stop and nature will eliminate this body system / creature or will modify it. This will be either end of particular creature or emergence of new one. This is the limit of evolution or we can say process of natural selection.
