You have failed to sway my opinions with your critique, lacking data to support it.  Many (most) of your points I disagree with.  Specifically that organisms do not adapt.  They do adapt, their genes even alter under certain circumstances (excessive radiation, cancer).  This is how those survivability traits become predominant, by climbing to the top of the DNA ladder so to speak.

No. No No NO.

*sigh*

Why the fuck do I even try?

Is AKK saying mutation == adaptation?


That's retarded.

Yeah it is.

[Ambassador KAOS]

Why the fuck do I even try?

hey BMW, for what it's worth, i really commend you for trying. i know i couldn't have done it without pulling my hair out and giving up halfway.

And that is why I am allowed to exist.

I give him props too.

I think hes trying to say that genetic evolution not only occurs on the individual level, but we can all become fantastic four if we wash ourselves with radioactive goop.

The last sentence reads like that guy that I tore appart in that thread in Apple Talk.

I was good untill after his responce.

Then I was doing this ---->

Let it  be known that I am an egotistical blowheart with a lot of wind.

I warned you guys when I introduced myself here.

The good news is I like you guys.

[LMNO]

The bad news is that it seems as if you can't back your egotism up with, you know, anything.

Look, if you want to know what you're doing wrong, I'll tell you...in a PM or publicly.

If not, well, you wouldn't be the first person here to back the Titanic up for another run at the iceberg.

Please do tell. 

cuz this is old.

Well, unfortunately, I now have to go to work and hassle the general public for no good reason.

However, hang in there, and when I return tonight, I'll bring you up to speed.  Do you want this public, or in a PM?

[Ambassador KAOS]

I'll leave that up to your discretion.  you have my email, if you want I can upload yim again, I took it off a while ago because I never use the thing.

Much appreciated.

000 is right...I'm glad you responded.  Some of that REALLY needed saying...apparently for those of us who have the ears to listen, but that's usually the case anyway.

Thanks 000, Jenne. I actually like clarifying stuff like this. Its nice to know someone is  listening.

Don't want to derail a classic roasting but, TBH (yuo know me) I don't give a fuck either way. I couldn't help my curiosity getting piqued with your big post BMW. You seemed to be saying that evolution was more about survival of the most complex or something and not survival of the fittest (which is what I'd been led to believe darwinism was all about) Can you clarify for me? Is this another one of those Schroedinger-wave things that's been misconstrued by the general public?

*knows fuck all about biology other than where the schlong goes

To clarify, no, I was not saying that evolution is survival of the more complex. Evolution is change over time, simply. I believe you may have been confused by the bit where I was talking about not using the term superior or inferior, but derived, meaning in either complexity of systems or recentness of morphology. It doesn't describe which is more fit, it just places development of biological systems, morphology and species in context with each other over time. When I say that something is a more derived organism or form than another, that more often than not means that it is a more recent evolutionary development. Less often it will mean that it has higher complexity. For example, "The mamalian lung is a more derived form than the lung of an amphibian". Thats dealing both with development and complexity. Sometimes you will hear people use the term "primitive" (as in less or more primitive) to place relationships. Or even higher and lower. Neither of these things has anything to do with superiority or inferiority.

Complexity may throw you off too. But the reason it is used for placement in evolutionary relationships is life over evolutionary time has a general increasing trend in complexity.

These are just terms that evolutionary biologists use to put species in relationship to each other evolutionarily. Evolution, to repeat, is the genetic change in a population over time, in relationship to enviromental, ecological and stocastic factors.

Does that help?

[P3nT4gR4m]

Excellent. I never knew about the complexity thing but I suppose it makes sense, started with amoebas or something after all. Never shared a discussion board with so many science heads before, kinda cool learning some of this shit.
