The world s most commonly believed tall tale

These are the two most common machine tools: LATHE MILL Together they can make a part like this, a piston.

These machines that make parts are themselves made of many different types of parts: Electronic, metal, plastic, bearings, gears, motors, etc.

The parts in the machines came from other machines

Then it takes more machines (robots) or humans (the most complicated machine of all) to put these parts together into assemblies.

Summary: 1) It takes large complicated machines to produce parts. 2) The parts are always smaller or less complicated than the machine that made them 3) The parts have no function with other parts until something or someone connects them with other parts. Complicated machines make a piston Alone, Piston is useless Piston become functional when put in a car motor

Here s the Tall Tale (if this gets confusing read the next page first and come back. It ll be real clear) We ve all heard of the Tall Tales like the amazingly-tall lumberjack Paul Bunyan. But what makes this tall tale so amazing is that many believe it s true. I m a design engineer. I design things. We honor people like Albert Einstein because of his ability to figure out very difficult concepts. People call him a genius. The people who invent things like computers are obviously brilliant. Now, what description would you use for someone that could design two machines (let s call them each part number LLEC1000) complete with all the programming and tools they need so they could join together and make new things just like them on their own. (like 2 computers that could make a new computer.) Then those new things would make more new things and so on. Think of what an incredible invention this would be. Can you think of anything that can make something just like itself? Take the simplest to the most complicated: On their own screws can t make other screws like themselves, and no two computers can make another computer. It takes perhaps hundreds of different types of computers and all kinds of robots, assembly lines, etc. to make computers. But let s just say someone made two machines that together could make something just like it. Everyone knows you need matter and/or energy to make stuff so these machines would have to get this matter and energy from their environment. But there s more. Not only are all these machines making copies of themselves. They are actually assembling the copies into a structure. They follow a blue print that was put into them. Actually they created a whole new blue print by combining information from both blueprints that were put in each of them. They took half of the information from one blueprint and half from the other and made a whole new blueprint. After they have produced several million new machines in the assembly you can start to see the shape of the blueprint they are creating. These new machines alter themselves slightly to start taking on new functions in the assembly. For example, to protect a delicate part of the assembly many of these machines join together to make a protective sheet. But the sheet needs to be temporary so the delicate assembly can be revealed. Therefore they create a row of these new machines, like a seam, that are made to disintegrate at the right time so the sheet can open. After these machines reproduce themselves to a quantity of about 30 Trillion (that s trillion with a T) the assembly they created from the blueprint, assembly part number YDOB1000, starts functioning as an assembly with a whole new programmed function. Like the LLEC1000, the YDOB1000 has been built with a full set of programming and tools to do this whole new function. It too wants to reproduce. It finds another assembly like itself, the YDOB2000. (We ll keep this PG). The YDOB1000 and the YDOB2000 each contribute one LLEC1000 to start the process all over again. In fact this happens inside a cavity in the YDOB2000. The YDOB2000 also provides the environment for the two LLECs to pull their energy and mater from (mentioned earlier).

You ve probably figured out by now that this is two CELLs inside the BODY (drop the numbers and reverse the letters. I.e. YDOB=BODY). The protective sheet is the eyelid, which is designed with a row of cells that disintegrate at the right time so the eyelid can open. The picture to the right is the first16 cells in this building process. Oh, and the answer to what would you call this amazing power that set all of this in motion has been debated for decades. Here are some common secular answers that many intelligent scientists will give. (This is excluding religion): 1) Nothing that exploded 2) eternally pre-existing super energy 3) aliens (But don t try to figure out where the aliens came from) Many scientists are sure it is one or more of these 3 things and will argue with others that it is true and even insist it be taught as truth in the school. So how do they know this so confidently? Here are some answers from some famous scientists on how the universe got started: No one knows how it got started Richard Dawkins ( Expelled movie) That s a great mystery Bill Nye, the science guy (debate with Ken Ham) [that] is an unanswerable question Carl Sagan (Cosmos) Wait a minute! That s blind faith! So this is religious (a belief) after all! But they say it isn t so we ll go with that premise. Their evidence is examining how different things form and developing theories on how it is all related. It s like looking at a mobile phone and a cordless phone and concluding they both came from a corded phone x.x million years ago. It s quite a bit more complicated, with billions of dollars spent on it each year, but that s the summary of it. I have not even begun to discuss the other things our bodies need to live: the air, the right atmospheric pressure, gravity, the sun, the eco system, and the plants and animals that provide food. I wanted to keep this a non-religious tract so I won t tell you what this power is (though it ll be obvious). I think you can see it is a powerful one. I ll leave it to you to determine what it is. Just make sure it is based on reason. For example, it should not be a religion based on a person claiming to be someone and gathering a following but with no proof. It should be a story based on reason. For example it should be a story that is supported by many people over a long period of time. Any book they generate over this long period of time should have verifiable historical references to show the people actually lived at that time. If it could do something beyond the normal, like predict the future, that would be helpful. If things were still happening today that line up with the story or it s predictions, that would be even better. If the people who initially started the story benefited greatly from the story itself that would be suspicious. If they suffered greatly for it that would add more credibility. (Note, this is referring to the leaders, not the followers. It s common for people to follow and die for a lie but not to start one and die or suffer for it). So keep seeking the truth of this source and you ll find it. But don t believe the tall tale.
