I wonder why, the first word that popped into my head while reading this was:
BULLSHIT
Plants and animals are all made of the same stuff. All life forms are intelligent, some appear to be even more intelligent than human beings. Our ‘mind’ is comprised of the collective intelligence of the cells in our body. They are called Eukaryotes. All Eukaryotes are intelligent. Plants are made of the same thing. So are bears, and ants, and most all species on Earth.
You would be amazed at all the ‘maths’ that the cells in your body perform to keep you alive and growing.
