Balls of Fire: A Science of Life and Death -- Judy Kay King

<p><strong>The cited study uses two fantasy baseball teams to explain human potential for postmortem evolution and genetic immortality, while examining the mind-body problem.</strong></p><p><em>Balls of Fire</em> explains several discoveries that cast a new light on human history, evolution, consciousness, and the microbial DNA in our bodies.The science reviewed in <em>Balls of Fire</em> builds on <em>The Isis Thesis</em> (2004) and 13 peer-reviewed journal articles (2005-2019). <em>The Isis Thesis</em> is a semiotic study of ancient Egyptian literature, artwork, ritual, and architecture, showing that ancient Egyptian deities are signs for human and microbial DNA. The ancient texts map a gene expression pathway for human evolution that has been secreted by the elite in many cultures. <em>Balls of Fire</em> explains how baseball originated in ancient Egypt to describe this genetic pathway. In addition, other key historical behaviors (farming, fermentation, milk production, myth, Christianity, alchemy, literature, art, capitalism, genetic engineering, machine fascination) model the same viral gene expression network over time for human evolution.</p><p> </p><p><em>Balls of Fire: A Science of Life and Death</em> won <strong>1st Place </strong>in the category "Body, Mind, Spirit" for <strong>Reader Views Literary Awards</strong> (2015-2016).
