ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO KEEP POUNDING AWAY AT ALL OF YOU UNTIL YOU START
LISTENING TO ME...REGARDLESS OF THE ISSUE. SO, HERE'S A BIG ONE:

NATURE DOES NOT VARY OR STRAY MUCH IN ITS OVERALL GRAND DESIGN. WHEN
YOU LIFT YOUR HEAD FROM THE EYEPIECE OF AN ELECTRON-SCANNING MICROSCOPE
TO LOOK INTO THE EYEPIECE OF A TELESCOPE POINTED TOWARD THE ANDROMEDA
GALAXY, YOU ARE STILL SEEING THE SAME PICTURE. NATURE DOES NOT HIDE ITS
METHODS OR INTENTIONS. A SATELLITE IMAGE OF A HURRICANE SHOWS THE SAME
DYNAMICS AT WORK AS DOES THE ABOVE MENTIONED IMAGE OF A GALAXY.

O.K., NOW HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THE WAY THAT SUNSPOTS TEND TO SWEEP ACROSS
THE FACE OF THE SUN IN PARALLEL LINES, JUST AS JUPITER HAS PARALLEL
BELTS OF "CLOUDS" ? THE SUN PRODUCES SPIRAL SUNSPOTS, JUST AS JUPITER
HAS SPIRAL STORMS. THE SUN HAS PLANETS, ASTEROIDS, AND COMETS IN ORBIT
AROUND IT, JUST AS THE GAS GIANTS HAVE RINGS OF MOONS AND ICE/DUST
ENCIRCLING THEM. THERE ARE 4 ROCKY INNER PLANETS VERSUS 4 GASEOUS OUTER
PLANETS (PLUTO IS EXCLUDED HERE SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A HITCH-HIKER, OR
IS A DEAD GAS PLANET TO COMPLEMENT THE SHATTERED FIFTH PLANET BETWEEN
MARS AND JUPITER).

ARE YOU SEEING IT NOW? THERE'S A DAMN GOOD REASON THE ANCIENT CULTURES
USED THE SHAPE OF A SPIRAL AS A "RELIGIOUS" ICON. NOW YOU KNOW WHY
THESE NEWLY DISCOVERED PLANETARY SYSTEMS CONSIST OF STARS AND MASSIVE
GAS GIANTS. BIRTH IS A SLOW PROCESS IN SOME SPECIES.

AND WHAT A NAME FOR A SPERMATAZOA...SHOEMAKER-LEVY!! GEEZ....
