WORMS (Evolution)

Spotti-Crow: THE NATURE OF THE WORM GOD IS TO EXIST AND IF YOU BELIEVE THIS HE DOES.-You said your reply to my own post did not go through, so I don't know what went wrong. Maybe you didn't click on 'submit'?-I'd asked if you thought there really was such a thing as a worm god, and if so what was its nature, and its purpose for spawning its "seed". The above response is so cryptic that I can only speculate on its meaning. You say the worms are found all over the universe, and "they would not look the same as we are used to". In that case, presumably they might not conform to your worm structure at all. I wonder if instead of worms you would consider "particles", as these could assume any form. This would bring your concept close to Frank's process theology, except that Frank's God is personal and loving. Is yours conscious or unconscious?-"IF YOU BELIEVE THIS HE DOES" suggests that if you don't believe it, he doesn't. But following your theory, if he doesn't exist, how come we're here? Sorry, but I don't understand this at all, so perhaps you could make the theory a little clearer. -You write: "EVOLUTION, NO THE BASIC WORM IS STILL THERE AND JUST HAS ADD-ONS TO SUIT ITS SURROUNDINGS..." Don't the add-ons constitute evolution? Even if the basic "worm" is still doing the same thing as it did billions of years ago (i.e. "food in, food out", though you left out reproduction), that doesn't alter the fact that now there is a species of "worm" that can investigate its own history, can change its own environment, can write symphonies, can create machines of all kinds, can question the existence of the worm god.....Perhaps we have a different interpretation of the word "evolution". Again, it would be helpful if you could supply some "add-ons" to your theory.
