Yeah, why not?

I'll give you an example. I came to the United States in 1970 and I had gotten married earlier and my wife was pregnant and I was an intern, the junior most person. And the chief of medicine calls me and he says, you know, I have bad news for you. Your wife has a disease called thalassemia. That's a fatal disease. I said, it's not possible. She's perfectly healthy. She is pregnant.

She's perfectly healthy. She is pregnant.

And if she had this disease, she would be dead by now. So he said, come and look at the cells under the microscope. Now, remember, this is 1970. There's no Google, nothing. So I look at the cells and they look calisthenia. But my wife is healthy. I can't figure it out. So I go to, this is New Jersey, small hospital. I go to New York.

I spend two days in the New York library looking for thalassemia and thalassemia trait. So thalassemia is a disease and some people have the trait, but they don't have the disease because you need two parents to have the same trait to get the disease.

exact route that Alexander the Great took to India from Macedonia all the way to India, people have thalassemia trait. So some ancestor of my wife was probably raped by a soldier 2,500 years ago, and that evidence is in her blood. It took me three days to discover that, major discovery. You ask chat GPT that question or any large language model, it'll give you the answer in two seconds.

grandmother how did she react to that well it's a historical fact yeah the footprints of history are in your genes you know there's not even a single break of life from the first organisms from 4 billion years to now there's not a single break in the chain of existence which is a miracle of existence that really is a miracle yeah if there was one break in the chain 4 billion years you wouldn't be here we wouldn't have this conversation

Yeah, it's remarkable to think about that.

Yeah, it's remarkable to think about that.

You see, this is so interesting about human beings that they get so easily adjusted to the miracle of existence. Why do we exist? Why are we here? What got us here? Yeah. And, you know, I asked Chachi GPT, you know, what is currently the theory of creation? Big bang. I said, went back. What caused the big bang? For the first time, pause. No cause can be ascribed to the big bang.

Then I said, what happened in the Planck epoch? The Planck epoch is 10 to the power of minus 33 seconds after the big bang when there are no laws of physics. So what happened in the Planck epoch? don't know this is chat GPT I said why is the universe so precisely mathematically fine-tuned for life for consciousness and for our being here don't know
