"The Inner Life Of A Cell"

Before the final, my biochemistry prof showed us this video that the folks from harvard released. The video shows some of the mechanisms one white blood cell goes through internally in response to some external stimuli. I guess all those sleepless nights spent cursing at textbooks finally pays off because it's nice to appreciate how it all falls together. Actually, the body is amazing... the fact that we're made up of ba-jillions of little cells that all go through these complex as hell processes simply because it's thermodynamically and entropically favourable? That the probability of electron cloud densities of effing atoms fall in place just perfectly to allow for molecules to interact the way that they do (I am so ready to strangle schrodinger's cat)?... The free energy that exists today was exactly the same as during the time of the dinosaurs... nothing gets destroyed or created in the universe, just recycled. Without proteins, we are nothing. The way everything falls into place in living organisms is simply do to random effing mutations and natural selection. But what then, of the mind? The individual consciousness? Do we simply differ by the unique set of chemical reactions that occur in our body - is this what drives the mind?
