Emergence of Everything

"Science is that discipline that replaces the hard questions that we are unable to answer by simpler questions to which we are competent to seek solutions" Jose Ortega y Gasset

"A theory might well be meaningful without being scientific." Karl Popper on the Demarcation Problem

The layers of emergence are as follows:
1. The Primordium - why is there something rather than nothing?
2. Large-scale structure - Non-Uniformity, entropy far from thermodynamic equilibrium
3. Stars - gravity versus electromagnetic radiation.
4. The Elements - from first generation stars
5. Solar Systems - from the heavy debris of first generation stars
6. Planets - sweep their orbits.
7. The Geospheres - the emergence of replicators
9. The prokaryotes - the DNA replicator
10. The eukaryotes - cell walls
11. The Multicell organisms - differentiated function, structure
12. Neurons - an action potential with a difference. The birth of memory
13. Two Animal Subkingdoms
14. Chordates to Vertibrates
15. Fish
16. Anphibians
17. Reptiles
18. Mammals
19. Arborial Animals
20. Primates
21. The Great Apes
22. Hominids
23. Tool Makers
24. Language
25. Agriculture
26. Technology and Urbanization
27. Philosophy
28. The Spiritual
