You definitely sparked my interest! Thank you very much. I ordered the Liam Scheff book before I had even read the chapter because I just knew I had to buy it. What a writer! In the last few years I read "Human By Design" by Gregg Braden which is on the same subject but hadn't really followed it up. Also really enjoyed Stephen Meyer's presentation, he is an excellent speaker. The thing about intelligent design is that it is so uplifting. In the early days of the GMC I was watching a lot of Dr Zach Bush videos about the Virome and toxic load. Listening to him one day I had a kind of epiphany as he was talking about our relationship with viruses. We are made up as much by the Virome and Microbiome as we are by what might be called human. It's the dance of life and as I sat there on a sunny day looking out at the trees I had the experience of seeing and feeling that dance in my own body. It's not easy to describe but it is perhaps a bit like shifting into a dimension where you are actually seeing the microscopic world. Like watching dancing particles of sunlight. Then there is Bruce Lipton the microbiologist who talks about the complex community of trillions of cells that comprises our bodies. When properly supported this community of cells is a model of co operation and efficiency. Like the underground networks in the soil that are like smart cities without the corruption and lack of safety testing. Nature already does it better and it is so complex and beautiful in that complexity. Fantastic Fungi is a documentary that shows this in the most gorgeous cinematography. https://watch.fantasticfungi.com/ As we begin to have a deeper understanding of Nature it becomes clearer and clearer that the main operating principle of life is co operation. Not competition as Darwin surmised. Survival of the fittest really is a fluffy term isn't it? Until I read the Gregg Braden book I hadn't really thought about it much. If I did I assumed that the theory of evolution was correct, of that I am quite sure. Now I can see what a convenient theory it is for the totalitarian narrative to keep onboard, helping to justify dehumanising practices which are then adopted as the (so called) norm and backed by The Science. As you can tell from my response I found this article particularly stimulating, thank you so much for your sharing. (-:

Thank you Kerry. Yes it is uplifting isn't it! So much of The Science kills wonder and optimism, it's almost "by design" :)

I had the exact same "Zach Bush" moment as you! But,

a) he talks so quick and the information he dispenses is very dense, and

b) I've seen nothing else about the exchange of genetic information between humans and viruses to further explain the concept...

Yes he does convey a lot of dense info doesn't he. I had watched quite a few videos before I understood enough to have that moment. And I haven't had any time to look for more info on that subject.

I just found out about a new documentary about the loss of the human microbiome called The Invisible Extinction. Don't know if they talk about viruses but might be worth checking out.
