Déjà vu

Déjà vu, from French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced had been experienced in the past.

Here are two examples of very young children who "already know" how to play the piano, masterfully! How can an adopted 3 year old, blind girl "already know" how to play the piano, instantly accompany a vocalist without ever having heard the tune before? She also plays the piano and sings.

This 5 year old "just knows" how to play the piano -- without any training -- like a classical master. How can this possible happen? They remember. It cannot be more obvious. Everyone has lived before, a thousand, thousand times. You and I may not be able to remember how the play the piano because we never played it before. However, there are thousands of examples in history of people being able to "just know" how to do things.

Computer scientists "just know" how to manufacture and program computer circuitry -- even though ELECTRICITY wasn't even "invented" until 150 years ago! How does a planet make the quantum leap from burning wood and candles, riding in horse carts and sailing ships to atomic bombs and global satellite systems in 150 years?! There is no "evolutionary process" involved.

It's too simple: we have done all of these things before on other planets, in other times, in other galaxies. It's Déjà vu.
