The flow

I've added a subtitle to the blog that is a first attempt at summarizing the theme. I intend to draw together news stories and my own comments to illuminate what i see as one of the big unanswered questions of our time:
How did life begin, is the apparent trend towards increasing information creation and flow here on earth an inevitable property of this type of system and, if so, what might this mean for the future?
Please note it is not my intention to introduce any religious ideas into this discussion.
