Someone hasn't been reading their Lucretius lately. If you want to catch a glimpse of life's poetry you'd better start reading better stuff! Unweaving the Rainbow by Richard Dawkins is another one you might want to check out.

Being mechanical stuff in an environment we are born from and to it will return, conscious of colors, sounds, feelings, thoughts, love---it's pretty special whether you imagine an invisible wizard behind a curtain or not.
