DNA/chromosomes/stuff like that.

sorry it's just an idea that poped into my head and I thought I'd try it out, guess it was a flop. (sob)

Well....

taking "not alien" to mean natural, as opposed to an ET, then it sort of works as a genesis type deal, the spiral as a reference to divinely initiated DNA.

The reference to code four eighty throws me off though. Too obscure. Searched on it - once you get past it being an area code for the Phoenix, Arizona (searching for code 480 NOT area) you get a bunch of municipal building codes, state tax codes, nothing at all relevant. The rest of it being so basic and primitive, early evolution evoking, but the extreme specificity of code 480 seems out of place.

Of course, I may be totally missing the point.

AS my reply posted I see SEth has also replied, and that he is from Arizona, which would mean he was refering to area code 480, and knowing that, then the whole idea of the initial stirrings in the primordial soup towards the complexity of alledgedly "advanced civilization" makes more sense.

The word "alien", Seth, immediately conjures sci-fi, sending the reader the wrong way, so that would have to be changed, and instead of an obscure reference to your own area code, guarantueed incomprehensibility, substitute something more recognizable, like 9/11, then it might work

Yes indeed....480 is a area code in phoeninx my new home sweet home however....
I'm just not that smart. I was in fact talking about the 480 chromosomes in a fern as apposed to the 46 in humans....interesting I thought.

In any event thanks for the thoughts and comments as they can only help.

~Seth(having a tasty drink....hehe)
Merry Christmas everybody!!!!!
