Horizontal Gene Transfer Transduction (HGTT) is the evolutionary biology name for evolution via viruses. Biologists have been aware of HGTT since the late 1950s. It turns out that viruses are originally produced by cells and then cast out into the world to share a genetic sequence that is adaptively helpful with other cells throughout all kingdoms of life including all single-celled and multi-celled organisms. When a virus docks into a cell's receptor cite, the cell open the virus unloads the contents of the virus and uses that DNA or RND as well as useful enzymes that are used to insert the genetic material into the cells genome. In addition to updating the cells genome, the cell makes copies of the virus and sends them out into the world to help other cells evolve. Beginning in the 1980s genetic engineering began to hijack this natural process by isolating viruses using ultracentrifugation and then packing into those viruses the genetic RNA or DNA that the engineer wanted to inserted into a target organism's genome. Finally the altered viruses are injected into the target organism. Then, nature completes the process via the natural HGTT process. The successful genetic changes that genetic engineers have achieved by hijacking natural HGTT proves that natural HGTT does change cellular DNA. Going even further, the human version of genetic engineering is called Gene Therapy and it has been used to cure the genetic abnormalities that cause sickle cell anemia, hemophilia and a few forms of hereditary cancer.

The article found here: https://pediaa.com/why-are-viruses-used-in-gene-therapy/ contains the following: Why are Viruses Used in Gene Therapy: Due to the infectious lifecycle, viruses are widely-used in gene transfer during gene therapy. Generally, viruses infect host cells and replicate inside the host cell by integrating viral DNA into the genome of the host. Hence, the interested DNA fragments can be introduced into the cell by packing it inside the viral particles. The three main types of viral vectors used in gene therapy are retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses (AAV). In addition, herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), baculovirus, vaccine virus are also used as vectors. The use of adenoviruses in gene therapy is shown in figure 1.

So, at this point we know that evolution does take place while we are alive via HGTT. Additionally, in some cases, those genetic changes can get into our sperm or eggs and become part of our children's genome making the genetic update part of the collective human genome. Of course that also happens with all sorts of creatures. On the other hand, neo-Darwinian evolution is being found to be incredibly unlikely to result in healthy adaptations. Therefore, it looks like viruses are involved in the primary mode of adaptive evolution.

Still, there's a very difficult to explain step in natural HGTT. How does the cell that produces the original virus determine what DNA or RNA ought to be placed into the virus? We know this isn't a random process because of the studies done with bacteria that become immune to antibiotics. What was discovered is that bacteria that is exposed to poisonous antibiotics produce viruses and share them until all the bacteria are genetically evolved by the HGTT process. That occurs quite rapidly and results is antibiotic resistant bacteria. To make sure that the viruses actually conveyed the evolutionary genetic update to achieve antibiotic resistance, the researchers used ultracentrifugation to isolate the viruses suspected of spreading the genetic update. Then those viruses where introduced to a culture of the same type of bacteria without exposing that bacteria to the antibiotic. After introducing the viruses and allowing time for the HGTT process to update the bacteria genome, that bacteria also became resistant to the antibiotic. Therefore, we know the HGTT process evolved the bacteria. However, how was the genetic sequence that was placed in those viruses devised? Did the little cell figure out what DNA or RNA was needed to develop antibiotic resistance? That seems impossible. Certainly a brilliant consciousness with extensive biological and chemical knowledge must have been involved in figuring out how to evolve the bacterial DNA in order to develop resistance to the antibiotic.

This, brings up the God theory. I like the panentheism version which is the belief or doctrine that God is greater than the universe and includes and interpenetrates it. Even at the cellular level, God is present and involved in life on all levels. Based on many thing including transcendental experiences that I've had, God is most likely pure consciousness which existed prior to the formation of the present universe. That consciousness formed and is everything and everyone.

Max Planck was a proponent for consciousness creating matter. With a Nobel Prize for discovering energy quanta, he became the distinguished father of quantum theory. In 1931, The Observer, a famous British weekly, reported Planck’s viewpoint: "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."

Later in his 1944 speech “The Nature of Matter,” Planck further explained how consciousness is present throughout everything: "There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."

Sadly, most physicists focus on physical matter as the universe's foundation and reject Planck’s views on consciousness being fundamental. This is where we get to Toby's discussion and concerns about human consciousness. However, rather than presuming consciousness is a result of evolution, what has been gaining traction in evolutionary biology and astro-physics is that consciousness came first and that God consciousness formed the universe, life and guided the development of life via HGTT and symbiogenesis (the fusion of two symbiotic organisms into one new organism that reproduces).

Many people, including myself, have experienced transcendental experiences in which we either return to a state of oneness, or we exit the physical body to explore the astral realm that is commonly referred to as the Heavens (which include hell). In near death experiences, human consciousness leaves the physical body and operates in a heightened way observing the dead body and people working to revive the body.

A notable example is cardiologist Pim van Lommel. He designed and performed an extensive research project to investigate near-death experiences that take place on the operating table. Under the controlled environment of a cluster of hospitals with medically trained staff, van Lommel systematically studied near-death experiences in a wide variety of patients who survived cardiac arrest. After twenty years of research, van Lommel published his results in The Lancet. 

Then, to more widely share what he discovered, van Lommel published "Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience" in 2007. That book provides evidence that the near-death phenomenon is an authentic experience that cannot be attributed to imagination, psychosis, or oxygen deprivation. Based on his extensive research, van Lommel shows that our consciousness does not always coincide with brain functions. Moreover, consciousness can even be experienced separately from the human body. This research proves the popular machine-brain theory false, making it a myth. Despite that, most scientists and most of the general public believe the machine-brain myth, even though it has been proven false. There are other studies that also prove the machine-brain myth false.

Despite all of that, when human consciousness in located in a human brain it becomes effected by the brain chemistry and other physical issues. When engaged in the head-brain environment the conscious mind affects the brain-body complex and vice versa. This entanglement of the physical body and the spirit being results in a complicated interrelationship that's not understood by science at this time. I doubt that humanity will ever be able to understand the complex interrelationship that takes place between consciousness and matter. So even though Bill Gates and other globalist trans-humanists dream of controlling consciousness using physical devises, it's very unlikely that they will succeed. First of all because they don't view reality from a primacy of consciousness perspective. Secondly, even if they accepted the consciousness comes first perspective that will simply lead to further complexity and evermore confusion.

Sorry for the length of this comment. I'm posting it without rereading it so I'm also sorry for any typos.

I don’t see how viruses can be any form of matter. It seems that viruses must be some form of energy, like a soundwave, a laserbeam, a wave of ultraviolet light, an x-ray, etc.

Toby, that is an interesting discussion about viruses. It could be that they they aren't good at killing us or we could be really good at adapting to them since we come from the same source and are able to adapt to their modifications as quickly as they undergo them. That process is self limiting since viruses that are too deadly kill the hosts they need to survive and hosts that succumb to viruses would not be as likely to pass on their genetics to future generations. It is more likely a type of symbiosis where genetics randomly explores every possible biological nook and is only preserved to replicate in a limited set of circumstances. Humans seem to view themselves egotistically as if they will always be here and individuals have egos (self consciousness) that may only last a lifetime.

Christianity is an amalgam of numerous spiritual beliefs that extend back into prehistory. It seems that as writing developed and methods of recording stories and information like clay tablets and papyrus scrolls, that religions became more rigid. Europe was Christianized as a result of Roman conquest and undoubtedly there may be some advantages to being a Christian but I always like to keep in mind that Christians were for a majority of European history mostly slaves or "subjects", so I'm not sure what's so good about that. I believe that continues historically till today, whereas the ruling financial elites have always "managed" the populations they oversee by a series of wars, legal systems and financial clout. Bill Gates may see himself as a "player" but the fact is he still shares 98% of his DNA with chimpanzees and the other 2% for the most part in common with millions of other humans alive today. The body he's in is just a temporary container for DNA that is shared by billions of other people. He will die and his offspring will become progressively divergent but that won't even matter because "he" will be a fading memory. So it seems there is some type of insecurity in him that makes him want to control or extinguish other people because his vision of a perfect future will disappear once he dies. That may be a failure of self consciousness that he perceives hmself as inadequate and I've often thought that the one thing he really needs (a new personality and self image) is something he will never have. I think he knows that and it bothers him.

I believe that common sense and civility may be partly genetic although not wholly because there are people born into every generation that are criminals or psychopaths. The rest of good behavior is learned and that is proved by the fact that there are societies where very little violence exists, even though the people live in modest circumstances.

Katherine Watt touches on some of the aspects of my post in her video about the historical and philosophical genesis of the "killbox" generated by the financial monopolists, central bankers and related entities who wish to depopulate and rule the world. I remain optimistic that the predominance of intellect and social instincts in the majority of human beings in the world will limit the success and possibly even lead to their permanent destruction of the greedy, evil, psychopathic minority.

Did you just turn virology into a religion? That's about right.

The tech tyrants are unquestionably anti-human and anti-physical reality. Their religion, well established and hardly secret, envisions a purely mathematical world with no animals or plants or humans, only ME. They idolize pure numbers and pure logic, and HATE grubby physical dirt and germs and peasants.

Gates talking to CIA (unverified) about creating a virus to immunize against religious fundamentalism. It’s real.

The book of Genesis is about Genetics, and the preservation of the human genome. “For Noah was a righteous man, PURE in his GENERATIONS”. He was genetically pure. The genome of mankind was being perverted, and this is why Noah and his family were saved. And these mRNA vaccines are an attack once again on the genome of mankind. We are in a spiritual war. God seeks to preserve his creation, and Satan seeks to pervert, taint, and poison it. Both spiritually and genetically. We are under attack spiritually from multiple directions including the media. And genetically by mRNA vaccines, AI, and transhumanism. This battle is even mirrored in our consciousness by movies such as “The Terminator”, “The Matrix”, and “Avitar”. We feel it in our spirit and soul.

Well put. I’m slightly off tho on viruses. So my problem is that i cannot find a real microscope image of a real virus that looks real and not digititally created or hand drawn. Until that day i see a real picture of re of a real virus, i cannot believe! If someone has such evidence: solarmanseth@gmail.com Feel free to enlighten me! Smiles!

In South African English we refer to conscience/scruples. Gates has none.

Please note I am not impugning your integrity with my next comment Toby.

As for Viruses existence you should ask where and when the existence has been proven empirically. It hasn't.

Well known German Ex-Virologist and marine biologist Stefan Lanka too has refuted the existence of viruses. https://thefreedomarticles.com/dr-stefan-lanka-2020-article-reveals-virus-misconception/ I can send you the papers from wissenschafftplus. Just pop me am e-mail sunfacejack@protonmail.com

June Almeida made a false claim - https://viroliegy.com/2021/12/07/june-almeida-and-the-first-coronavirus-em-images-1967/

Both Drs Sam Baily and her husband Dr Mark J. Bailey have done extensive research into this issue. There are two papers-

Thank you Mr. Thomas J. Piccone for your comments. I enjoy another point of view. I looked up aluminum and found that it is the most wide spread metal on Earth. It is also less hard than ceramic, glass or steel. It can therefore leach into food when used in cooking. If that happens it is said to risk disease. Aluminum for cooking utensils is banned in Europe. I guess because it is toxic in the body even in small amounts. Acidic food wrapped in aluminum foil should be avoided.

I stand by what I said about teeth and wheat because I ate no wheat during the pandemic. When it was declared over, I decided to visit my dentist for a tooth cleaning. The dentist said no cleaning because there was nothing to clean. I learned that plaque can cover teeth immediately as one chews the wheat. Dental decay arrives with the western diet. It did not occur before the invention of agriculture. Actually, wheat is a form of sugar. I am sure that avoiding sugar as well as wheat is important. I forgot that I had not eaten any sugar either.

The Bible was published by the ruling class.

Before then, it was local. So basically the story in the Bible was twisted in favor of the elite. No, humans are not always wicked... And the end of times is more for the crooked.

As for viruses driving evolution, nope. It assumes that we understand genetics and we don't. In fact, epigenetics is still mysterious to geneticists because it doesn't operate the way their models expected! Keep in mind they can't even understand the "immune system" (because it's not that, it's a garbage collection and disposal system... Terrain theory fulfills Occam's razor!). But hey, keep on digging into the sci fi of academia....

"many of the Covid-vaccinated are struggling cognitively — they appear to have lost access to logic and reason" - Tucker has just interviewed a German professorial type on the launch of the English edition of his book the other day, Nehls, and that's pretty much his thesis. He says spikeopathy causes neural inflammation, turning them into vegetables, and argues this explains why they were so keen to vax all age groups. Now I've just spent two weeks with my double boostered parents and they show this exact symptom. Now they both have plenty of academic titles and they're ancient, granted, but the recent rate of decline is shocking. I am very angry. Trying to get them to take their ivermectin and nattokinase.
