And I always thought DNA was a sugar phosphate backbone with 4 different organic bases, however DNA is only a crystal in lyophisic conditions (i.e. a crystal of table salt is free of any water) therefore cannot emit lazers of any kind in the cell!
"Biophotons, or ultraweak photon emissions of biological systems, are weak electromagnetic waves in the optical range of the spectrum - in other words: light. All living cells of plants, animals and human beings emit biophotons...This light emission is an expression of the functional state of the living organism and its measurement therefore can be used to assess this state. Cancer cells and healthy cells of the same type, for instance, can be discriminated by typical differences in biophoton emission....According to the biophoton theory developed on the base of these discoveries the biophoton light is stored in the cells of the organism - more precisely, in the DNA molecules of their nuclei - and a dynamic web of light constantly released and absorbed by the DNA may connect cell organelles, cells, tissues, and organs within the body and serve as the organism's main communication network and as the principal regulating instance for all life processes. The processes of morphogenesis, growth, differentiation and regeneration are also explained by the structuring and regulating activity of the coherent biophoton field. The holographic biophoton field of the brain and the nervous system, and maybe even that of the whole organism, may also be basis of memory and other phenomena of consciousness, as postulated by neurophysiologist Karl Pribram an others. The consciousness-like coherence properties of the biophoton field are closely related to its base in the properties of the physical vacuum and indicate its possible role as an interface to the non-physical realms of mind, psyche and consciousness."

And I think you were making a reference to colloidal systems? Think you possibly made a typo with 'lyophilic'? Anyway DNA is, I suppose, in some sort of lyophilic state in its home of salt water ie the nucleus of a cell. I presumed it was gathered in its chromosomes rather than somewhere along the suspension/solution spectrum...but I would be interested to hear more on this.

My understanding of this junk DNA (or introns) is it is not junk DNA it is merely just DNA tha isn't expressed into proteins, many studies have been done on this and it has been found that some of our introns are just 'older' DNA no longer required for human existance therefore is no longer expressed, however some organisms have the same genetic sequence and express the sequence products that we do not.....for example The banana tree shares about 95% of our DNA but are we banana trees......??
Surely this points further toward the property of DNA to project anything it chooses from its catologue of biological beings. Through a sort of habit our human DNA expresses us as we are and supresses banana leaves etc, and perhaps the quantum entanglement might be a means for communicating to the central idea bank (for want of a better expression) and projecting from a particular biomorphic field the organism that the particular DNA creates.
Of course the subtleties in the DNA chain that separate us from a banana tree are also expressed in the other 5% of our DNA that could easily affect the resonance frequency of the entire DNA chain on one level or another and therefore it's resultant biological being. It could be a crucial 5%
Having said all that - if we are all joined as one, at least all of biology, which quantum entanglement suggests as a distinct scientific possibility - and since all DNA apparently comes from the same root at the base of the evolutionary tree. Then we are infact banana trees, not to mention many other things. It's just that right now we are expressing ourselves as human beings.

I must look at it from a scientific point of view, in that we are just animals at the end of the day, all evolved from the same 'freak' combination of various salts, sugars fatty acids, carbohydrates and other random substances coming together to create 'life'!
True, but what is 'freak'? and what is 'life'? What is being 'just animal'?
It seems likely to me that life will always evolve in suitable conditions, and these conditions can be quite extreme, as demonstrated in some places on our own planet (like near tectonic vents on the mid-Atlantic ridge, where life exists).

It's also fairly likely that 'life' or it's precursors arrived via meteor and that these meteors will hit many, many planets. If conditions on any of them are as favourable as Earth was 4.5 billion years ago (not too favourable really by our current standards on this planet) then life will be evolving on all those planets.
And in it's turn - so will consciousness. Neuro trnasmitters definitely carry the medium of consciousness. I am not too familiar with the cyclic nerve theory of which you speak, but it seems to point toward a mechanism for consciousness. In it's turn that can once again, as science is so good at, tell us how it might work....but, as usual with science, it cannot tell us about the experience. You know, it's like if they work out the microbiology of an orgasm. Sure the equations will look fantastic, but will they tell you what an orgasm really
is to a living being?
