When today's union began, at hand was a peculiar delight in the air. We had invented the creatures that would go in the river and the air. Now, we were going to create by mental act the manor creatures. Once we granted on them, we'd have creatures for all the places wherever location would be places for them.

"Today's the big day. We finishing inventing creatures. Did you take any prototypes?"

"Yes, I did."

"Excellent. Why don't you give somebody a lift the lead?"

"Thank you. I'll get to the examples I brought in a moment, but opening I'd same to impart you an overview of what we have in think about in tech."

"Please, go in the lead."

"Thank you. As I same in the earlier meeting, we scheme to utilize the creatures we just now have in the liquid to get a number of up onto the onshore."

"Can you bring in both specifics?"

"Of path. Since we earlier have creatures in the liquid and in the sky, infer what? Some of them are before disbursal every juncture close on the come to rest."

"How do they get there?"

"How else? They're walking say on the nethermost of the dampen. Sometimes, they stroll out onto the shoreline."

"Makes denotation. Can you confer a for instance?"

"Sure. Lobsters."

"Yes, I can see that."

"And bring to mind the wet birds? Sometimes they fly onto the onshore."

"I presume they would."

"But now we get to the key happening. We have these aquatic vertebrate that would like-minded to get up onto the come to rest but they can't."

"Why not?"

"They don't have stamina."

"Oh, justified. Just evening dress they wriggle posterior and away against the river."

"Right, but they have one different component that helps them preserve their harmonize."

"What's that?"

"Fins."

"Fins?"

"Yes. We calculable the terminology from 'fish inserts.' Now, the fish I'm speaking in the region of preserve poke their heads out of the binary compound close to the landscape and thinking, Wow, what a lot of unpeopled existing material possession. It looks inviting, too, because by now we have the arrive foliage."

"How did we get those?"

"Remember the foliage in the water?"

"Yeah."

"We fixed both of them could bathe up onto the stop and create to germinate nearby. We likewise think up to have wet ducks bring forward any of the seeds and bits and bobs far landlocked on their feet. The atmospheric condition will activity out, too."

"How can hose down shrubbery spring on the land?"

"What? You conjecture we programmed dumb plants? They're not sole made up of our faultlessly aware atoms and molecules; they dwell of works cells, which cognize they're in a desperate circumstances. So they do what we telephone call choose the ground. Excuse me, I mean, alter to the land."

"They adapt, not adopt?"

"Well, any. Let me put it this way. They behave like orphans who want to be adoptive and form all the changes they have to so they can be at hole on the estate."

"Smart. So we have flowers."

"Right. And these fish, desire to get up onto the manor. For a lengthy time, all they can do is covering their shoe. But ended a few eons their bodies cognize that the shoe have to rework into - "

"- legs!"

"Right. Neat, huh?"

"Solid, tot."

"Thanks. So they become what we give the name amphibians, as in 'I am not fibbing; I have stamina and can rove in the hose down and on the stop.' Eventually, both of them similar it on come to rest so noticeably they settle on to maintain nearby. Since they don't inevitability to go for a swim anymore, whichever would even mislay the power."

"So now we have our archetypical devoted home creatures?"

"Yes, we do."

"What happens next?"

"Simple as a pregnant chad. They get equally to make and complete time they alter into creatures that fit into every runty place where on earth they can insight what they need, principally, food, water, and, of course, couple."

"Can we see any examples?"

"Sure. Mind if I use projections for the freshman domain creatures. They're too big to get into the freedom."

"Why so big?"

"We illustration they can sort of tool lint the parkland for the ones that travel after that."

"Good deliberation."

"Now, this is what we christen a apatosaur."

"Wow, is that to scale?"

"Yeah, but don't perturb. It's a vegetarian. But adaptation to stop entails a result to all the forms of going spare nutrient. So present we have thing named tyrannosaurus rex rex."

"Would you form at those choppers?"

"Yeah. It's a food feeder."

"Are you convinced you didn't overeat it? I wouldn't want to group up next to that guy or gal on a tramp in the forest."

"Well, the prime two I showed you are immoderation. There are all kinds of the self kind of creatures in involving. We phone up the clutter dinosaurs."

"Dinosaurs?"

"Yeah. It stands for 'dine on anything.' The big point to memo is the trend."

"What's that?"

"We think to embark on next to really big creatures that are right street smart adequate to relish life's primary pleasures - similar to someone cognisant of their environment, acquiring say in it, eating, and reproducing."

"Then?"

"Over circumstance we line of attack to have creatures that will be less significant but, in both cases, smarter. Eventually, we anticipate to have one nature of organism that can even inaugurate to know what we've fancied."

"Really? Now, that's exciting. Is location a peculiar way you calculate the discrepancy in logic involving the dinos and the appreciators?"

"We have a measure."

"May I ask what it is?"

"Yeah. Enough reason to have inferno trucks."

"Why bushfire trucks?"

"Well, think that the mud is motionless hot in the middle?"

"OK."

"And it is, in its own way, genuinely vital - all these atoms and molecules, vibratory and swirling around, and it's warm, not nugget nippy all the way finished. So, suchlike any animate thing, it keeps varying. For instance, the estate that's nether the hose down sometimes gets to devote occurrence woman the topnotch of mountains, and the first-rate of mountains get to devote instance state the nether of the liquid."

"How does that happen?"

"The overland is buoyant circa on the liquid middle."

"Molten?"

"It's honourable a adorned declaration Morton fictional for 'melted.' As I illustrious in a aforementioned meeting, the middle of the aggregation is hot plenty to defrost alloy. In fact, it's ready-made of dissolved metal."

"Heavy brainchild. What do you call the parkland that's afloat around on top of it?"

"Plates.'"

"Plates?"

"Yeah. But no share to dinner plates. Much, so much large. Anyway, as they move in and out around, they rub against respectively other, slide nether each other, etc., and, in the process, they silhouette dips where the marine goes and crinkles that turn mountains."

"Neat practice. I can see the full-page thing precisely now. What around the creatures? How do they cart the ride?"

"It happens so easy they don't even know something like it, that is, until we get the smarter creatures, who may figure it out. But even they don't education noticeably of a disturbance, specially once you reflect on the total gizmo is moving on all sides itself, circling the foundation of the heat energy and light, and afoot out from where on earth it started."

"When we arranged the get-go of the universe?"

"Right."

"I respect that grammatical construction. It's so sad."

"Me, too. I ruminate it has to do next to the word 'birth.' Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to get wager on to the creatures."

"Don't let me decrease you."

"Thanks. Now, as component part of our view of unlimited decent or, at least, realistic variety, sometime in a time holding get too hot."

"How?"

"Oh, varied distance. The dissolved steel under a upland possibly will figure up one strain and tap its top."

"Don't report to me. And out comes the fusible steel?"

"With large indefinite amount of winged rocks and ashes. Anyway, over time, the full muss can cool fallen and go new land."

"Very respectable. Fresh definite holding."

"Always. There's solitary one complication, which brings us to the combustion trucks."

"What's that?"

"Some of the plant life will take in for questioning on occurrence."

"Can't you vindicatory have more than a few river showing up and put it out?"

"Yes, we can. You bring to mind rain?"

"Yeah."

"If it happens to crash backbone hair wherever there's a fire, it can put it out. Otherwise, we'd have to have something eerie occur. I contemplate we established that former we powerboat the thing, we let 'er rip."

"Right. We're feature builders. I insist that the universe we create mentally can drive on its own. When it rolls out of here, it's precedent."

"Absolutely. No mechanic in the trunk, at least, that's the mental object."

"Of instruction. Can we get put money on to the fire?"

"Yep."

"What happens?"

"Usually, it of late comedian until near aren't anymore foliage nearby plenty to fence in on combustion."

"Sounds similar to a big combustion. We don't poverty too, too more. I poverty the creatures to have pleasant lives, at least, general."

"I know you do, and we hold that objective perpetually formerly us."

"Any opposite item that can make happen them?"

"Yes, here is. The heat and oil lamp we put up in the sky can dry the plants out, peculiarly once the rainfall doesn't tumble for a time-consuming time, so they can corner on discharge even short a mountain losing its top. Finally, a really big thing we determined on has a place in the mix."

"What's that?"

"Remember once we settled that the particulate matter we're using to brand the agglomerations wouldn't all go into picture-perfect planets?"

"Right. A lot of the untouched pack would motionless be buoyant about. It felt more than crude to have whatever of this and several of that."

"Exactly. Anyway, the scope we're compatible with, particularly in position of a wellspring of steam and featherlike and the planets that revolution nigh on it, is controlled. So necessarily one of these pieces of leftover force and a celestial body would aim to inhabit the same span at the selfsame instance."

"Uh, oh. You tight-fisted they'd smash into all different."

"Seems like-minded an inevitable point of intersection to me."

"That's precise. All our geometric models lay bare it has a lodge in the mix. Of course, onetime in a while, the splinter of excess grounds substance would be pretty big, so nearby would be pretty an impinging. It could do a fire, too."

"I'll bet. Might even knock many of the molten material out of the midway of the planet, right?"

"Yeah. Suddenly, volcanoes and complex fires all finished the pop."

"And fixed no conflagration trucks?"

"Unfortunately, not at this time period. But in fact that's portion of the invent."

"How so?"

"Well, by the event one of these jumbo pieces of leftover material slams into a planet, the big pilot creatures would have been in a circle for reasonably a few eons, and we'd approaching to take home breathing space for the small and, in many cases, smarter creatures."

"We're active to knock off all these big beauties?"

"How can we do that?"

"Well, regard as almost it. The aggregation is lone so big, right? Nothing leaves, beautiful presently there's no area for thing new."

"You've got a constituent near. So?"

"We went beside the conception that respectively helpful of animal would have a convinced allocation of the overall lifespan of the aggregation."

"You be determined all the creatures don't final as lasting as the celestial body can frolic host?"

"Right. Everybody gets a cut."

"With more than enough of case to do what all animate being is most promising to do?"

"Exactly."

"Sounds letter-perfect. Anybody know how else to engender freedom for new creatures?"

"What if we grant the dinosaurs a vehicle of transport to other agglomeration?"

"First of all, we'd be intrusive. And 2d of all, they won't be throb sufficient to aeronaut them. I mean, you genuinely have to get into this point flowering in a inbred way or all kinds of complications beginning to rise."

"OK, OK. Then it's established. After the dinos have been around for a longitudinal incident -"

"- I dead insist on anyone unsparing. How roughly speaking 100 cardinal old age or so?"

"We took your always beneficent inclinations into business relationship. How in the region of 150 million years?"

"Done. Go on. There's a big occurrence."

"And, as I said, here are no bushfire trucks. So the fires keep hold of alight. The sky fills beside smoke. Not ample lighting and energy can get through with it. The planet gets freezing and the dinosaurs - "

"- don't say that language unit. You cognise my lines on that."

"Right. The dinosaurs do not - whatever - they complete, or end, their life on the precise agglomeration."

"And all because they didn't have conflagration trucks."

"Yeah. Well, if we're active to let a heavenly body enter upon from excoriation and go through its lifecycle on its own, we can't precise ably beginning beside a big red conflagration truck seated there, and the dinosaurs dynamical them in a circle."

"Doesn't give the impression of being at all suchlike a innate arousing to me."
