Look, here is a tree in the garden and every summer is produces apples, and we call it an apple tree because the tree “apples.” That’s what it does. Alright, now here is a solar system inside a galaxy, and one of the peculiarities of this solar system is that at least on the planet earth, the thing peoples! In just the same way that an apple tree apples! Now, maybe two million years ago somebody came from another galaxy in a flying saucer and had a look at this solar system, and they looked it over and shrugged their shoulders and said, \u201cJust a bunch of rocks.\u201d And they went away. Later on\u2014maybe two million years later\u2014they came around, and they looked at it again, and they said, \u201cExcuse me! We thought it was a bunch of rocks but it\u2019s peopleing,\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s alive after all; it has done something intelligent.\u201d Because, you see, we grow out of this world in exactly the same way that the apples grow on the apple tree. If evolution means anything, it means that. But, you see, we curiously twist it. We say, well, first of all\u2014in the beginning\u2014there was nothing but gas and rock. And then intelligence happened to arise in it\u2014you know, like a sort of fungus or slime on top of the whole thing. But we\u2019re thinking in a way, you see, that disconnects the intelligence from the rocks. Where there are rocks, watch out! Watch out! Because the rocks are going, eventually, to come alive. And they\u2019re going to have people crawling over them. It\u2019s only a matter of time. Just in the same way as the seed, the acorn, is eventually going to turn into the oak, because it has the potentiality of that within it. Rocks are not dead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
