"Visualize for a moment sand dunes. And notice, when you look at these sand dunes in your mind, that they look like wind. Sand dunes look like wind in some sense.
Well, then analyze the situation: what is wind? Wind is a pressure variant phenomena that fluctuates over time. In a way, the sand grains moved about by the wind are like a lower dimensional slice of the wind itself. And from photographic analysis of dunes, you can calculate the speed and duration of the wind that made them. So the dune is a lower dimensional slice of time, of the wind ebbing and flowing that made it.
Now lets change the metaphor a little bit. Instead of grains of sand, let’s think of genes; instead of a windstorm, let’s think of a billion years of evolution. It moves the genes around in a pattern, which is a lower dimensional slice of the force which created the situation.
In other words, on every living organism there is the imprint of the higher dimensional force which made it. Now, somebody could say, 'Well, that’s God.’ Well, but in a scientific context, we don’t speak like that. But whatever it is that made blind matter into whales, squirrels and human beings, it left its calling card inside each human being, each squirrel, each whale.
That’s the DNA."
