Shut up.

hydro, Even if god "existed", Creating the 6 billion different species is quite a feat, and if I was a god, I'd choose evolution to do my dirty work.

Food for tought: If we were created in god's image, why aren't we all omnipotent, omniscient invisible beings?

Ye, the book is best. And you should read "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide".

Wow.... I totally noobish question:

How do you give a link, then make some other word represent it while posting, like Oggie just did?

System32 · « **Reply #91 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:35:44 AM »

Text [ / url ]

Weirdo · « **Reply #92 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:44:12 AM »

Lemme try,

Like this?

Oggie · « **Reply #93 on:** May 04, 2009, 12:01:11 PM »

You can also write the text, mark it, and hit the "Insert Link" button.

Weirdo · « **Reply #94 on:** May 04, 2009, 01:22:28 PM »

I'm assuming you actually clicked on my link Oggie. Just thought it would be slightly relevant. Might get us back on topic too.

Oggie · « **Reply #95 on:** May 04, 2009, 01:46:25 PM »

I didn't click it, but I had a look at what you linked to and smiled :)

Back on topic: I'm not sure there are any meaning as to why we live, but I belive the reason we keep on reproducing is that we enjoy doing it.

Don't parasitic wasps do the same?

Parasitic wasps do eat.

Evolution can't technically be a scientific fact because it isn't observable, testable or repeatable. Or am I wrong?
Some could say bacteria becoming more resistant to antibiotics is proof, but actual proof of evolution would require proving that one species actually became another species, which unfortunately takes to long to really observe.
As for our purpose as a species, survival is definitely on the list, but I believe there is more than that.

And Hydro, please stop posting about stuff if you have no idea what you're talking about.

They don't technically need other creatures to procreate. They just zombify other creatures to enhance their ability to procreate.

Evolution is just as observable and testable as gravity. Like gravity, it allows for accurate predictions to be made.

The notion that evolution is simply one animal coming from another is completly wrong. That is an aspect of evolution yes, but the entire theory itself is more encompassing and broad than that.

EDIT: Yes, it works
