Field of vision!!

Once i saw a kid looking at something ! it seemed frm her face that whatever she was looking at was quite interesting. I did not dare to disturb her, instead i waited for her to look away. She did after a while with a look of disgust and astonishment at the same time she asked me "Why did that ant move to that frog?"

I was confused, n looked down i saw a  frog . And by seeing dat i could make out it was eating something!  so the disgust on that girls face was understood.
she demanded " tell me!! when the ant knows frog will eat him up why does he go near ! poor guy ant " she made a sad face and ran away before i could answer .
Though the question seemed too lame to answer to a guy of my age,  the child in me kept thinking! 

We see this world with our pair of eyes!  The range of what we see is around 160 degrees i.e we see only that much which our eyes can percieve or understand or sense! That range of vision is called Field of view( for geometry n etc of this search wikipedia) .

Now imagine there is a 6 foot long pole infront of you which is obviously visible as a whole to you! Now imagine a magician does some abracadabra and starts to shrink you!

imagine you are gradually getting tiny. The pole is getting bigger n bigger to your eyes! Then you become small and the width of the pole no more fits your field of vision, you still get smaller ,now all you see is just the surface of the pole .. all of ur range of vision is filled with it nothing else, because you are so small relative to the pole that all your eyes can see is blocked by the pole! 

Now consider the tiny ant and relatively big frog! so when ant walks to a frog the frog may be so big that it covers all of its FOV ! The ant will see it as may be a big green wall which is not moving,  so it doesn bother n walks towards it! Thats how a kid inside me asked the question and i kept on answering it. 

Some simple things that happen daily are food for thoughts! Some may find this lame! but no,  nothing is lame as long as you are keeping your mind busy in thinking :) Its fun try it ;)

Perception of "PERFECTION" as god

"Isnt it amazing? " she said. " how nature is made!  its so perfect" ! she continued " GOD has made it so perfect"

I chuckled in obvious disagreement. The word GOD has always amused me. Provokes a thought on how it first came into existence , the word GOD.

" Dont you see it?  how perfect it is! the way things are. new life grows out of nothing! lives , takes energy from nature and perishes and this goes on! there is perfect harmony between everything.  who can imagine a big tree growning out of a tiny seed? leave trees take us for example"
i continued to patiently listen
" we r so perfectly made! we grow literally out of nothing. when we see we are just flesh and bones but there is something keeping us alive!  GOD made us like this
We are perfectly made to live in this world! even if there was a thing not like it is now we could not hav survived for example if we did not have some small bones in ears we could never stand on just two legs!  even science shows existence of god! " she took a neccesary deep breath as she finished her talk.
I was lost in the convo so much that i started to believe she was right!! And then i came to my senses my thoughts flew back.

i said " yes we are perfect! yes we are very much adapted to this environment thats why we live!  but where does god come here? "

she looked puzzled  , looking for more explaination from the athiest me . I continued " We are this perfect because we changed,  we learnt we adapted.  Thats what darwin taught us!  we hav a perfect nose because the ones with an imperfect nose perished! nose being a small example.  consider giraffes ! one when sees a giraffe in a forest with long trees would say -GOD has made giraffe's neck so tall so it wont die of hunger in these forests with tall trees all praise the lord blah blah amen- But what actually happened is there were giraffes with shorter neck! when vegetation at lower levels was not much available giraffes started to adapt by having longer necks! so the ones with longer necks survived and the others perished!  that is the PERFECT ones survived!  "

I could see some kind of approval in her face but i still went on

" so what we see in todays world are the fittest survivors or the PERFECT ones, that is why we see it like a perfect world created by some miraculous mighty force. But the truth is nature itself is the architect.  it does all sorts of trial and error techniques to bring out perfect ones,  so this amazingly awesome perfection of nature is what i think was referred to as GOD "

The convo ended with a hint of smile on.my face and a convinced lady at the other end.
