SCIENTIST AT WORK | FRANCIS CRICK
"After the Double Helix: Unraveling the Mysteries of the State of Being"
By MARGARET WERTHEIM

Quoting Crick: "The view of ourselves as 'persons' is just as erroneous as the view that the Sun goes around the Earth, . . .... this sort of language will disappear in a few hundred years."

That's a cryptic post. I'm not a gnostic. It probabbly has to do with the growing idea among scientists of the leftist persuation, that men are simply deterministic machines, their is no morality, they're all the same if fixed properly, blah, blah, blah... He's wrong. What's the point? Oh, you asked me if he was a good observer. No, he's biased both his observations and logic. I don't know the details...

Crick was an atheist who was perceptive enough to know that things looked designed and that evolution wouldn't work. So, rather than dare to condescend to thinking that there may actually be a God who set this rock in motion, he put forward the idea that Aliens "seeded" the planet (Panspermia).
