This presentation describes some of the roles that microvita play in the Cosmic Cycle of Creation. Emanated by the Cosmic Mind, microvita play a role in the formation of elementary particles, atoms, viruses, the origin of life and minds, the evolution of plants, animals and human beings, the development of civilization, and merging human minds and individual consciousness with the non-qualified infinite Supreme Consciousness that is the spiritual goal of life. Also, an experiment is described to test the hypothesis that microvita are released from radioactive atoms to create DNA and RNA-carrying viruses that form single-celled living beings in a suitable chemical environment.

Three AI programs, Google's AI, Meta AI and ChatGPT, were asked if the Ananda Marga "Path of Bliss" philosophy is a form of panconscism, and also what other philosophies, ideologies and religions align with panconscism. Ananda Marga was found to align with panconscism, according to all three AI programs, along with several other Western and Eastern philosophies.

I propose the word "panconscism" for this concept. I explored this idea with Meta-AI, starting with asking it to define a new word "panconscism".

The people of today are very different from those primitive personalities - there is a great difference between them. How did this difference occur? Due to constant changes in structure a metamorphosis took place. An evolved psychic structure emerged and a corresponding change occurred in the physical structure to facilitate a proper physical medium for that evolved psychic structure. Human beings started thinking about certain subjects and remained in that state of contemplation for a long period. Human beings could not make their undeveloped nerves and nerve cells serve as the correct medium for their evolved psychic structure, so a change in the nerve cells had to be brought about. And so a change in the nerve cells and nerve fibers occurred. As a result, the human face has also changed. The humans of one million years ago had a very small cranium. These so-called humans had a very small number of nerve cells. Their brains were small and their bodies were relatively big.” Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921-1990), was a spiritual master and guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and founded the international socio-spiritual movement Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

By this process of elevation, a person becomes superhuman and goes beyond the periphery of the common human psychology," explains Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. "The art of attaining self-knowledge is complete self-surrender. You cannot challenge Parama Puruśa (God) with your intellect and talent. You can challenge Him with one thing only. That is, you must say, "Oh, Parama Puruśa, You have brought me to this earth, so You will have to appear before me, because I am in a human body which I have attained by virtue of Your grace." Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921-1990), was a Dharma guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and founded the socio-spiritual movement Ananda Marga ("the Path of Bliss").

It is the Supreme truth of this universe," explains Dharma Guru Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. "And not only is this birthright enjoyed by human beings, but by all living creatures. Not only living creatures, but by all animate and inanimate objects. From the mighty mammoth to the small blade of grass, everybody enjoys his birthright. Nobody is insignificant. Nobody is unimportant." Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921-1990), also known as Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, was a guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and the founder of the international sociospiritual movement Ananda Marga ("Path of Bliss").

"That means, yoga is meant for theists and not for atheists. Yoga is not for people who perform worldly actions under the influence of atheism. Whatever deeds, small or big, good or bad, personal or social or national, are done by an atheist, their philosophy of life is based on atheism. That person cannot pursue the path of yoga. According to the aphorism Saḿyogo yoga ityukto jiivátmá Paramátmanah, one has to accept the reality of jiivátmá and Paramátmá. So the fact is that yoga sádhaná [yoga practice] is possible only for theists."

And what is mantra caetanya, or the awakening of a mantra? Mantra caetanya is the condition where, with the help of a particular shabda (sound), a person establishes parallelism between his or her external physical vibration and his or her internal ectoplasmic vibration, and then raises this to the spiritual level. And the culmination of this process in the achievement of the final spiritual goal (salvation) is called mantra siddhi." Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, (1921-1990), also known as Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, was a spiritual guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna. He introduced the empowered universal spiritual mantra "Baba Nam Kevalam" ["love is all there is"], composed a collection of 5018 spiritual songs called Prabháta Saḿgiita, and founded the global socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga ("the Path of Bliss").-Richard Gauthier, Saint Louis, USA, April 13, 2025.

Here he speaks of a future time when human babies will be created from chemical compounds in laboratories, and how human beings will lose their biological reproductive power as a natural result of this. Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, (1921-1990), was a spiritual guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna. He introduced the empowered universal spiritual mantra "Baba Nam Kevalam" ["love is all there is"], composed a collection of 5018 spiritual songs called Prabháta Saḿgiita, and founded the global socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga ("the Path of Bliss").-Richard Gauthier, Saint Louis, USA, April 8, 2025.

Virtuous people welcome Him and support His cause, while evil-minded persons put up strong resistance against Him.” “The moment of yuga sandhi [transitional point between two ages] has come,” claims Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. “Government by the sinners is the order of the day. Nevertheless, I would assert that there is no reason to despair or to fear. You are all children of Parama Puruśa. He is always with you, so your victory is assured.” P. R. Sarkar, (1921-1990), was a spiritual guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna. He introduced the empowered universal spiritual mantra “Baba Nam Kevalam” [“love is all there is”], composed a collection of 5018 spiritual songs called Prabháta Saḿgiita, and founded the global socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

First, observe morality and do intuitional practices. Second, unite the scattered moralists into a powerful force. Third, while taking the ideation of your spiritual goal, the Supreme Consciousness, fight openly against sin and immorality wherever they have taken root in this world. “You have to serve humanity.” “Lead the life of a warrior. You will be victorious, so march ahead!” Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1922-1990), also known as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, was a spiritual master in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna. He founded the international socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (“Path of Bliss”)

It is part of your being, your birthright,” explains Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. “If you are proud of your meritorious actions, this pride will remain in the end and not the grace of God. For Him, all are equal. For society, the differences matter, but not for God. His grace is raining on all, but if you are carrying an umbrella of ego on your head, how will you get drenched by His Grace?” “He is kind to all, every moment of one’s life. One has only to receive this kindness by removing the ego. However great a sinner one may be, the moment one surrenders to the Lord, one becomes a devotee – his or her salvation is guaranteed.” “Your meeting with God is not a unilateral affair, it is a mutual thing. You walk one step towards Him and He will come twenty towards you.” Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti (1921-1990) was a Dharma guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna. He introduced the empowered universal spiritual mantra “Baba Nam Kevalam” ("Love is all there is"), composed a collection of 5018 spiritual songs called Prabháta Saḿgiita, and founded the socio-spiritual movement Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

So when people are in trouble, they say: “Oh God, what have You done to me? What put this into Your mind?” But the fact is that Náráyańa, God, has done nothing, and had nothing in His mind. You have done something and are suffering the consequences. You are in trouble and you are crying out. Many people are like this. But Náráyańa has done nothing. As you have sown, so you now reap. This is the plain truth,” explains Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti. “So before doing anything you should think carefully, because the action is in your hand, but not the result – that is in the hand of Prakrti (God’s Cosmic Operative Principle – the law of nature). Náráyańa neither performs the action nor administers the results. He simply gives Prakrti the opportunity to work within Her own limited sphere; Prakrti does Her duty accordingly. She does not aim to satisfy either your mind or the mind of anyone else. She only aims to please the mind of Náráyańa. Whatever work Náráyańa has given Her the right to do, that is what She does. She has no right to do more than that.” Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti (1921-1990) was a Dharma guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna. He introduced the empowered universal spiritual mantra “Baba Nam Kevalam”, composed a collection of 5018 spiritual songs called Prabháta Saḿgiita, and founded the socio-spiritual movement Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

It moves ahead through ideological unity and disunity, through ideological clash. It has moved ahead, it is moving ahead, and it will move ahead,” explains Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. “To stop this movement means destruction, a great destruction – hence we have to advance with great speed. When the speed of this advancement gets slowed down, people will face trouble at every step.” (excerpt 43) This article is a selection of quotations from various discourses of P. R. Sarkar where he explains biological and social evolutionary processes in terms of clash and cohesion. Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921-1990), also known as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, was a spiritual master and guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and founded the international socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

“The success of the sadhana (spiritual practice) of human beings, who are a blending of animality... more “The success of the sadhana (spiritual practice) of human beings, who are a blending of animality and divinity, lies in the reduction of their animality and the unfolding of their divinity,” explains Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti. “It is a fact that there is an Atman (soul), and also that Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) exists. Only the people who have never tried to understand anything beyond the sensually-perceivable world may say, ‘If God exists, why can’t we see Him?’ A material-minded person may ask, ‘Can you show me God?’ Such a question from a common person may make a learned person laugh, but this does not answer the question. So it is necessary to make people understand that the answer to the question must be in the code and language consonant with the nature of the matter.” “What we call Consciousness is not something strange that appears from nowhere and is distinct from everything else. It exists in unmanifested form in every atom of every object.” “Only He is unlimited, so it is only by attaining Him that unlimited happiness can be attained.” “So, you will have to go to a capable ácárya (spiritual teacher) and learn Brahmavidyá (intuitional science) and strictly follow what the experienced ácárya teaches you.” Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti (1921-1990), also known as Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, was a Dharma guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna. He founded the international socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

A digital search of P. R. Sarkar’s discourses over 35 years, using the phrase “clash and cohesion” and the word “clash”, showed the use of these terms in a range of cosmic evolutionary processes, including the stage-wise creation of the universe itself from an infinite Supreme Consciousness, and the later evolution of life, minds, human beings and civilizations. This is a selection of quotations from various discourses of P. R. Sarkar where he explains cosmic evolutionary processes in terms of clash and cohesion. Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921-1990), also known as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, was a spiritual master and guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and founded the international socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

True spiritual aspirants will never be frightened by any circumstances, for they are born warriors, ready to move on amidst all struggles. They will smash all obstacles relentlessly. This is the creed of their lives. What is the result of this headlong rush towards the Supreme One? The result is that one becomes one with the Supreme Entity,” explains Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. "The philosophers say that the Lord is beyond the reach of the ordinary human mind; but the devotees say that the Lord resides within the innermost cavity of the human mind as the subtlest entity, subtler than any subtle creation. He is the closest entity to the human heart.” Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921-1990), also known as Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, was a spiritual master and guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and founded the international socio-spiritual movement Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

They alone will have to bear the consequences of all their actions. No one else can substitute for them.” Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921-1990), also known as Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, was a spiritual master and guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and founded the international socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

His discourses have been translated into all the world's major languages. His unique blend of historical perspective, social commentary and spirituality has been the inspiration for spiritually-minded seekers and social activists looking for progressive, spiritually-based alternatives to capitalism and communism. He was a spiritual teacher in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna and was the founder of the international socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga ("Path of Bliss").

"It is only the mental creation of unit consciousness, termed as buddhitattva (the feeling of "I exist"), and this "I" is further manifested as the other two functional forms of mind--ahaḿtattva (ego) and citta (the objective portion of mind). Since buddhitattva pervades every bit of the body, one feels the presence of "I" in every part of the body and is prone to identify this "I" with the body. It has, however, been explained earlier that this feeling of "I" and the body are not the same entity. They are different-the feeling of "I" is buddhitattva, and the physical body merely forms a shelter (ádhára) for it."

Sarkar as subtle subatomic living entities responsible for the origin, transmission and evolution of life in the universe. This book, first published in 1988, introduces the concept of microvita from a scientific research perspective. It suggests ways that microvita may apply to physics, the origin of life, the evolution of life and embryological development and how microvita may also lead to a better understanding of the nature of health and disease. More recent biological research on the interaction between retroviruses and other life forms during biological evolution may support the idea of microvita and gives increasing urgency to the need to understand microvita.

According to Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, microvita are emanated by the Cosmic Mind to implement Cosmic desires. With Cosmic approval, microvita may create new and immediately viable species by directing transposons or “jumping genes” in an organism’s genome to transfer and multiply a specific portion of the genome’s shiftable DNA to pre-planned DNA sites in the genome. These rearranged and possibly expanded genomes will generate from current species members a pre-planned new species, pre-adapted to live and thrive in a different environment or ecological niche during periods of catastrophic climate change. The new species requires no further adaptations to the changed environment by Darwinian natural selection, except for minor adaptations that may occur due to the normal genetic variability within a species population. Divine selection, implemented by microvita-directed transposons, regularly creates viable new species that natural selection, based only on the laws of physics and chemistry, could almost never create from existing species.

Sarkar’s theory of the Cosmic Cycle of Creation Is a hybrid model of cosmic creation of the universe, combining a Steady State model of evolution of the universe from unqualified Supreme Consciousness, to Cosmic Mind and then to galaxies, planets and life, with a Big Bang model of the evolution of the universe like that known to present cosmology.

Different suggestions for improving one’s meditation and feelings of spiritual devotion are also presented.

These sprinqs also are proposed to compose all the fundamental particles in these universes by expressing appropriate particle attributes in different environments. The univon is the quantum particle of a univon quantum field. Observational support for this fine-tuned-multiverse hypothesis would also provide support for the hypothesis that a higher or cosmic intelligence created our multiverse with the intention of evolving life and developed minds in every universe, capable of exploring and understanding the universe and the place of life and humanity in it, and capable of exploring possible purposes and meanings of existence. If universes are found with “un-tuned” or essentially random values of their main physical constants and parameters and thus mostly incapable of evolving stable galaxies, stars, life and advanced minds, this would suggest that universes evolve from random, mindless processes. Our universe would then be just a “lucky statistical accident” in an otherwise mostly lifeless and mindless large-scale cosmos. Modeling and testing hypothetical ways a univon could produce the big bang would be another way to test the univon hypothesis.

According to this idea, physical reality may arise from yes-no binary outcomes in quantum measurement experiments, and perhaps from an even deeper information level. This article proposes another idea: that superluminal energy quanta embody the information needed to form the fundamental particles that produce our universe. Superluminal energy quanta were the primordial matter that produced the first hot plasma of fundamental particles during the Big Bang. One superluminal energy quantum may have formed the original primordial quantum particle that produced our universe – the cosmic quantum. Superluminal energy quanta continue to form fundamental particles today such as photons and electrons. The primordial matter of the universe, traditionally called ylem, is proposed to be superluminal energy quanta that form the fundamental particles of our universe – giving rise to the expression “them from ylem”.

The photon model is composed of a pair of superluminal helically-moving opposite electric charges of magnitude Q = e sqrt(2/alpha) = 16.6 e where alpha is the fine structure constant. During electron-positron pair production these charged half-photons curl up their single-helical trajectories to form geometrically-compatible relativistic zitterbewegung-frequency superluminal quantum-vortex electron and positron models. The superluminal charged energy quantum composing the resting electron and positron models moves on the surface of a mathematical horn torus. The accompanying article is at richardgauthier.academia.edu/research . This powerpoint is for the American Physical Society's April 2019 meeting in Denver, Colorado.

Two spin-½ charged half-photons, each composed of one helically-circulating electrically-charged ... more Two spin-½ charged half-photons, each composed of one helically-circulating electrically-charged superluminal energy quantum, compose a double-helix photon model of total spin 1 hbar and of diameter D = λ / π where λ is the photon's wavelength. The opposite electric charges Q and –Q on the two superluminal energy quanta are calculated to have magnitude Q = e sqrt(2/α) = 16.6e where α = 1 /137.04 is the fine structure constant of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The two charged half-photons are quantum mechanically entangled, creating the unity of the composite photon model. The composite photon model suggests a mechanism for electron-positron pair production, while the predicted charges Q and –Q provide a strong experimental test of the composite photon model. The inertial mass of the double-helix photon model is calculated to be M = E /c^2 = hν /c^2 even though a photon's invariant mass m equals zero.

The two oppositely-charged (with Q = ±e sqrt(2/α) = 16.6e) open-helix spin-½ half-photons compose the double-helix photon. These half-photons separate and curl up their separated superluminal single-helical trajectories to form an electrically-charged superluminal closed-helix spin-½ quantum-vortex electron model and a corresponding positron model. The helical radius and the Dirac equation's zitterbewegung angular frequency of the quantum vortex electron and positron models equal the helical radius and zitterbewegung angular frequency of the two spin-½ half-photons, each of energy E = mc^2, that composed the double-helix photon model of energy E = 2mc^2 from which the electron and positron models were produced. The photon and electron models are also compatible when a photon of energy E > 2mc^2 produces a relativistic electron-positron pair. Implications of the quantum vortex electron model for electron stability are discussed.

Microvita are subtle, sub-microscopic living entities that organize energy to create forms, structures and processes in the universe. Millions of microvita may compose one electron. Quantitative microvita models of a photon and a double-looping electron are derived, using known experimental facts and a proposed helical motion of microvita. The electron model explains the experimental value of the electron's spin. Microvita are related to viruses, and may help explain the origin of life and the evolution of species through the creation and addition of new genes—a process radically different from that described by modern evolutionary theory and also intelligent design. The interplay between positive and negative microvita in the human body and mind may explain the cause of disease, and suggests a new approach to health.

With this hypothesis, new species are not produced by Darwin's "natural selection" or "survival of the fittest" species evolutionary process, or its modern version called neo-darwinism. Rather, new species are by pre-planned virus-based DNA insertion of "jumping genes" or "transposable elements" (TEs)-mobile DNA sequences that invade genomes and contribute to genome and species innovation. These jumping genes produce a burst of genetic and morphogenetic change as some species members are transformed into a new species, which then remains the same new species until it become extinct perhaps millions of years later. The outward result is similar to that of the hypothesis of punctuated equilibria for rapid species formation proposed by Eldredge and Gould in 1972 (to explain persistent gaps in the species fossil record that are not predicted by Darwinism). But in the new hypothesis, the rapid genetic changes that produce new species are "pre-planned", according to Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar's "great exceptions" species evolutionary hypothesis of 1979. According to P.R. Sarkar, atoms are composed of billions of subatomic living entities called microvita, first described in 1986. Microvita were emanated from a Cosmic Mind to produce our universe-forming Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. Microvita carry pre-planned codes for DNA or RNA from the Cosmic Mind. These microvita first created the fundamental physical particles and then atoms. Microvita are later released from radioactive atoms and in a suitable chemical environment form DNA or RNA-carrying viruses that produce different species of living beings in the universe through the scientifically-accepted evolutionary process of descent with modification, but not by natural selection, which rarely if ever has been observed to cause species transformation. A biological experiment has been proposed to detect the existence of RNA-or DNA-virus-forming microvita in radioactive atoms that could help substantiate this proposed hypothesis for the origin of species.

A biological experiment has been proposed to detect the existence of RNA- or DNA-virus-forming microvita in radioactive atoms that could help substantiate this proposed hypothesis for the origin of species.

In both models, the sheets of electric charge always internally travel faster than the speed of light, and the size, structure, wavelengths and helical motions of these sheets of electric charge correspond to their energy, momentum and angular momentum, and the electron's magnetic moment to first order. The photon and electron models are closely related through the geometry and dynamics of electron/positron pair production from a photon, resulting in the quantum mechanical 720-degrees rotational symmetry of the electron model. When the electron model moves as a whole with velocity v, it is found that its internal structure generates the electron's de Broglie wavelength L = h / mv , due to internal photon-like Doppler wavelength shifts and wave interference. The electron model also increases its total energy (and therefore its mass) with its velocity in accordance with special relativity, due to the increased net energy associated with the Doppler-shifted frequency of the circulating charged photon-like entity that composes the electron model. Due to the constancy of the electron's angular momentum with velocity, a relativistically moving electron model is found to decrease in size with velocity so as to be consistent with experimental determinations of the maximum size of an electron from high energy scattering experiments. The two models illustrate a new concept of quantum wave-particle duality, where the form of the charged sheets (two in the photon and one in the electron) constitute the particle and their superluminal motion constitutes the wave. This modeling approach predicts that there are two varieties of right circularly polarized photon (and also two types of left circularly polarized photon), depending on whether the positive or negative charge sheet is in front in the photon's direction of motion, and two varieties of negative electron (and two varieties of positron), depending on whether the electric charge sheet in the electron moves forward clockwise or counterclockwise in its closed helical structure. These 2 predicted varieties of the present photon and electron should be distinguishable by the different magnetic fields that they would produce.

The opposite electric charges Q and –Q on the two superluminal energy quanta are calculated to have magnitude Q = e sqrt(2/α) = 16.6e where α = 1 /137.04 is the fine structure constant of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The two charged half-photons are quantum mechanically entangled, creating the unity of the composite photon model. The composite photon model suggests a mechanism for electron-positron pair production, while the predicted charges Q and –Q provide a strong experimental test of the composite photon model. The inertial mass of the double-helix photon model is calculated to be M = E /c 2 = hν /c 2 even though a photon's invariant mass m equals zero.

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, a spiritual guru in his own right, wrote insightful books about Shiva and Krishna as historical personalities, describing both their spiritual contributions and their other contributions to society. The spiritual legacy of Shiva is also elaborated in two books by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (also known as Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar) about Tantra, a universal system of spiritual practices elaborated by Shiva. A biography of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti is also given.

The Nature of Light: What are Photons? VI, 2015

From radio to visible to x-ray, telescopes are designed based upon the optical imaging theory; which is an extension of the Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral. Do we understand the physical properties of gamma rays that defy us to manipulate them similarly? One demonstrated unique property of gamma rays is that they can be converted to elementary particles (electron and positron pair); or a particle-antiparticle pair can be converted into gamma rays. Thus, EM waves and elementary particles, being inter-convertible; we cannot expect to understand the deeper nature of light without succeeding to find structural interrelationship between photons and particles. This topic is directly relevant to develop a deeper understanding of the nature of light; which will, in turn, help our engineers to invent better optical instruments. Participants and SubTitles 1.

Given the non-point-like nature of particles, and the "spin" from new field equations, it seems that entanglement is an illusion. And deterministic local variables explain the Bell and CSHS inequalities. 5. Fermionic particles, are confined, circulating, configurations of energy in space. Fields and forces are the result of the properties, displacement, topology, and resultant "polarizations" of space. But perhaps it is more enlightening to state that forces are the result of the topology of particles, and the properties of space. In other words, the complexity of the properties of space are sufficient to be able to sustain electric, magnetic, weak, confinement, and strong forces, and as an aside, gravity. 6. Gravity is a change in the mass-equivalence (density p) of space, caused by energy in the fields of particles. This increase in the energy density of space in the vicinity of particles, causes space to display a slightly increased density term, slightly slowing the speed of light, resulting in gravitational force. 7. Any energy in space displays mass-like properties in the fabric of space.

P. R. Sarkar also proposed that microvita are subtle sub-atomic living entities emanated by the Cosmic Mind, that play a major role in the origin of and evolution of life and minds, as well as species. The Supreme Consciousness, via its Cosmic Mind, guides cosmic evolutionary progress through “clash and cohesion” and microvita. These lead to the emergence and expression of undeveloped and then developed minds and bodies, and finally human beings, as well as producing social, cultural and spiritual progress.

Genetic-Code-in-Big-Bang Microvita Theory Unifies Science and Spirituality and Could Prove that God Exists

A laboratory experiment has been proposed to test this microvita hypothesis. Explaining a positive experimental outcome would be a serious challenge to materialist evolutionary thinkers: How did the DNA/RNA genetic code for the origin of life come to be stored in atoms? This new scientific paradigm for the Cosmic-Mind origin of the DNA/RNA genetic code via microvita could bringing together science and spirituality and provide strong experimental support for the existence of God.
