Rupert Sheldrake, is a biologist, author, and researcher, best known for his theory of morphic fields and morphic resonance. He worked as a biochemist and cell biologist at Cambridge University. He has written many books on science, spirituality, and morphic resonance which is a process whereby self-organizing systems inherit a memory from previous similar systems. In its most general formulation, morphic resonance means that the so-called laws of nature are more like habits and memory is inherent in nature.
Lyrics to the song that was inspired by the interview:
ONE FREE MIRACLE
68 BPM
VERSE
C Em
Centuries of science, have given us the answers
We know matter's unconscious
We can show evolution's purposeless
C D
The only reality's material reality
There's just one part that's hazy, that bit at the beginning
How all mass and energy, came into being
And the laws that govern all of existence
Appeared at once, in a single instant, from nothing...
We just need
CHORUS
G F# Em
One free miracle
C D
The B part of the Bang
Give us this one free miracle
For our theories to hang
Only this one free miracle
We can explain the rest
We need just one free miracle
All else we can test
VERSE
We're all on the same page, from Dawkin to Hawking
Intellectual phase-locking
Fundamental constants, must never change
We average results out so they stay the same
Ditto to the dark stuff, we add and subtract
"Conservation of energy" must remain intact
Science is settled, without an almighty
So now we restrict, the areas of enquiry
To the details
CHORUS
MIDDLE
Am G
Nature is mechanistic
F C
Unexplained phenomenons are illusory
Get it through your head - your mind's in your body
Biological inheritance is only through your genes
[Instrumental chords as Middle]
