Eighth point.
My mind is now resting on a Thymine of a DNA strand, comparing the long molecule to History. Perhaps they are nearly one and the same, both being the basis of life. Without time and History life could not exist – the directions on a DNA strand are history themselves, having evolved over a long period of time, like the colonists’ protests evolved into their asking and eventually acquiring independence from Britain. Life could not be recorded without time, because an event in life, say mitosis, happens during a specific moment in the life of a cell (moment equals time). And the recording of events at specific points in time make up history, like an infinite amount of points would make up a line segment on a graph.
