What the birds or the plants might do in pursuing their own agenda must create its own momentum: Plants rely on hummingbirds which unlike insects are warm blooded and are not put off by cold or torrential rain. The birds with their 1200 heartbeats per minute require energy more often and so quickly too. If plants would design their flowers to suit these pollinators it must be said some thing of the nature of Truth. It sets an order that drives each life form to run on predictable lines.

Another aspect of order we see in our Milky Way. A nebulous gaseous cloud tends to form a spiral shape with arms. A double spiral in a DNA defines order: material nature expressed by a form as distinct from another.

When cream is poured into a stirred cup of coffee shows up a striking resemblance to galaxies with outer parts of arms trailing around its centre. Is it merely a coincidence? Or does it speak of an order?
