We know less about what's happening on the animal level, but we know clearly that that animals that there's there's there's clear distinction.

There's there's clearly a world of the biosphere and there's a world of the nose for the human world, the animal world.

They're clearly distinct from each other, and they're also inter-included and overlapping in many ways that we didn't imagine, you know, even a thousand years ago.

We're actually understanding, you know, profoundly, you know, deeply the different depths and dimensions of the animal world.

But for now, I'm going to just stay it for a minute in the human world.

So in the human world.

If we actually understand how the human appears, we understand that there's a process of, I won't go into it, but, you know, autocatalytic self-replicating peptides, right, which is a key part of actually abiogenesis, the beginning, the emergence of life.

But if you actually understand how the early chemistry and biochemistry works, you understand that to produce peptides,

Through embryogenesis, right, a unique human being, you need, you can't do that mechanically.

In other words, you can't, it's not a cookie cutter.

What actually has to happen is about 30 different utterly unique steps, right, that can't be automated, right?

So meaning it's what Whitehead means when he talks about personhood, meaning you actually need a personal movement of the force from a biochemical perspective to actually generate irreducibly unique life.

Now, if we really get what we just said, you'd have to faint in it.

We'd have to faint in ecstasy, right?

Because the, and this is where the fundamentalists got it right, right?

They got this right.

And the fact that they got it right shouldn't have everyone else ignore it because they're talking about it.

No, we should claim it and enter it.

There's an utterly personal face, a second person face.

And when they say Christ loves you,
