The Selfish Biosphere

Unlocking Life's Mystery

About this book

Our Hypothesis on the Biosphere as a Single Organism is the only plausible and non-contradictive explanation of all aspects of the living world. It is the KEY to Life.

It is based on the available facts and does not deny any of the scientific findings. It explains every aspect, from life emergence to the future of our Biosphere. 

The Hypothesis is materialistic by nature. 

The Biosphere has natural origins and later acquired intelligence and creativity. Biological evolution is directed by the Biosphere. All new creatures, from complex molecules and cells to the most advanced thinking animals, are designed and made by Its mind.

Evolution is a logical extension of the Biosphere’s need to keep Its living "household" under control and in balance. All living creatures, from viruses to multicellular organisms, are creations and creators of the Biosphere and all Its organisms.

These living formations are embraced by the global information network and exchange information on this all-encompassing level. The physical shells of individual information blobs (our bodies) expire, but the information itself remains at the Biosphere’s disposal forever. It will be used by future generations. After 3.5 billion years of constant development, the Biosphere has reached a fork in the road. Humanity could be replaced by more advanced species or could take control into its own hands. Our main concept should give a boost to the study of life. Darwinism and Creationism of all kinds should give a way to a new look at our living world.
