But I doubt that such an "ideal theory" can satisfy anyone who truly wants to
know the sur-rounding world. Oddly enough, most scientists desirous of such
knowledge fail to avoid the pitfalls of this ideal theory of God. Everyone accepts the
doctrine that God created man in his own, so that man is a copy of God himself...

It is gratifying for man to think of himself as the likeness of the deity — a godly
image — who, accordingly, possesses the ultimate and all-possible knowledge of his
surrounding world. And, further, that his sensory organs represent the peak evolution

of living matter. Otherwise, how can he explain the fact that scientists give validity
only to what they can feel or touch with their own hands?

Of course it is understandable that man tries to comprehend only what his senses
perceive. But we should always bear in mind that this is not the pinnacle of
knowledge but only the first step toward the evolution of Mind.

And we must try to broaden and amplify the weak trickles of information
seeping through the sensory organs into the human brain. We must develop

ourselves and our brain until these meager trickles swell into powerful torrents. Then
will nature surrender a multitude of secrets to the evolved Mind.

Until then, let us undertake the first steps on the path of Mind.
Accordingly, let us explore the conditions needed for life to arise on our planet.
There are several:
1. The presence of a constant dimensionality gradient ζ coupled with another

parameter, the space quantization index, γi. (The latter determines the quantity of
primary matters of a given kind which are capable of merging within this parameter).
The value of the constant dimensionality gradient and the space quantization index
together determine the evolutionary potential of the possible emergent life forms.

Further, the multiples of their values can tell us how many levels (and
therefore how many qualitative barriers) can arise within this dimensionality
gradient. The number of the barriers created determines the qualitative variety of the
possible life forms, including the potential for the creation and evolution of

intelligence.

2. The presence of water. Water is the basis of organic life on our planet. There
are, of course, other forms of life that are not protein-based. But, to begin with, let us
explore the orderly origin of protein -based life forms. First we must understand what
is going on in our own domicile before exploring others' abodes.
3. The presence of an atmosphere. The atmosphere is the most dynamic and
active part of the planet. It instantaneously and abruptly reacts to changes in the
environment -which is crucial for the origin of life. The presence of oxygen and
carbon dioxide signifies the existence of protein life on a planet. The atmosphere
should be neither too dense nor too rarefied. If too dense, stellar radiation fails to

reach and warm the planetary surface. At the same time, the lower atmospheric layers
do not absorb the stellar radiation or the thermal radiation of the planet's surface
layers.
As a result, there is no dimensionality gradient between the daytime and
nighttime surfaces of the planet. Consequently, there is no movement of
atmospheric masses in the lower layers of the atmosphere. In the absence of a
