Matter and Stuff

I don't know much about biology, anatomy, or physiology. Most of what I learned in high school I've forgotten. Such things interest me greatly, but I just don't take the time to pursue those interests. But I was thinking the other day about fruit. We're not plants, but still we can eat these things that grow from the earth, and our body converts it to some recognizable form. Isn't that amazing? Try to think of fruit as something other than food. What is it? We call it food because we can eat it, but 'food' isn't one of the elements that composes it. It's stuff like that that tells me we're all made of the same stuff.

I've also heard somewhere (and I've forgotten this statistic so it's probably wrong) about how humans only have a .04% DNA difference between earthworms or something along those lines. I was actually watching whatever it was that said that with a friend, and he got pissed-the-fuck-off. Like, seriously. But whatever. All that tells me, if it's true, is that, if there is a god, it made us all out of the same stuff.
