Cell response to electric field (Introduction)

I asked BBella if she believed the All That Is constitutes a single, self-aware entity that deliberately created the universe and life from scratch, had a particular purpose for doing so, and was watching us humans, and perhaps even listening to our prayers.

> BBELLA: [...] I have no idea if this fabric from which all exists is a self aware God. I am open to it, but I have my doubts. It is more likely, to me, that beings evolved from ATI that may have created us (through experimenting with that DNA already existed) and may, still, to this day, intervene in some ways with us earth beings [...]

We then go back to David's God who created the alien gods who created us, or chance which created the alien gods which created us, or mindless energy which evolved into the alien gods which created us. Ockham might turn in his grave. -There is no question we are here. So, however we came about, automatically, in my mind, allows for the possibility of other beings coming before us, and beings before them, and so on. Beings who, within our collective consciousness, we might still think of as Gods. But, one thing's for certain and for which there is no doubt: our origin and their origin (if there be gods or a God) sprang from the same "place," the ATI. Our question is this: Is the ATI a self-aware being itself that created ATI, or did a self aware being evolve from the ATI? Which came first? Maybe it's the chicken and the egg quandary, which answer may be obviously plain as the nose on our face (or not). The ATI/chicken gave birth to an egg/the ATI. Neither, in this scenario, had to be self aware to create. ->However, that doesn't mean they don't exist or never existed, but of course we'd need evidence to justify including them in the grand history. You have studied the evidence, and I haven't, but the next comment suggests that you are not convinced by what you have learned.
