A friend told me the reason for not eating pork is simply because there is a type of 'worm' that lives in the pig's meat that doesn't get killed even by high cooking temperatures, and some more, the Islam guideline specifically targets only the 'meat' of the animal. One way to think of it, when people hear of a worm going around on this internet do they drop their firewalls and de-install their malicious software detection programs? Well simple then: for people practicing Islam, their "NIST of all NIST's" published a document that stated definitively there is a 'worm' in pig's meat and better don't take it into your system. Full stop. And there really there just isn't any more to it than that. She still works with us, eats with us when we go out for dinner, and can laugh and enjoy with us even when we order this
The speed of light is not the upper speed limit of the universe; nothing can travel slower than light. We are all traveling faster than light, always. Everything is.
but I'm sober. How is it that life as we know it, consciousness, sentience, etc. is not enough? Think about it. Same universe. Same galaxy. Isn't life (as we know/call it) even in ONE place... enough? Beyond amazing, beyond impossible, totally and utterly improbable... yet here we are! So we get to mars and find a small pond of goo with some amino acids and proteins in it. So what? What's the big deal?
