Living an irrational and ignorant life is no good, and it hurts the species.

EDIT: By the way, even the Catholic church recognizes that evolution is a scientific fact.

yes... arguing with Inf IS irrational...

You know Jeffery, you debate really well. :)

I believe evolution is pretty much a fact. We really can't successfuly deny that evolution takes place, as we have see livings things mutate and change to better suit their environment. An obvious example is bacteria, which evolve to become resistant to antibiotics. And we can see that over billions of years from fossil reocrds, life a has changed over time.

that's called adapting. the special forces do it all the time.

and i dont like catholics.

I don't see how adapting is that much different from micro-evolution.

And I only did a year of college debate (and got $600 in scholarships to do it).

Wow... for a while there, was there actually an intellectual discussion going on at GTM's?

Viruses do not technically have the signs of a lifeform by themselves (eating, reproducing, etc), but indirectly (they use living things, eg cells to multiply). So i really don't know about this.

Well it depends on how specific your definition of life goes.

In my opinion, something has life if it exists with cells and can metabolize. So in that case, viruses are in the category of what I believe is 'non-cellular life.'

I on the other hand happen to know a good deal about biology, and if anyone would like to debate "pro evolution" I'd be glad to help out. All of my arguments have scientific basis. night.

Don't parasitic wasps do the same?
