• Let’s talk about evolution.
  

  I would say natural selection/survival of the fittest is a huge factor, just like the whole moth thing that was explained earlier.
  
  And while natural selection is a promoting factor of evolution, its evolution in it of itself.

  [quote Xeno Dragon]Oh, I get it now! You’re a raging, snobbish, @sswhipe. That’s why you don’t give a sh*t about anyone but yourself. Hahaha, sorry about that. And here I thought I was talking to someone who might care about what happens beyond their private plane. You have everything, and all you can think about is who to step on so you can get more.[/quote]
  
  Haha, dude I just said that to get under your skin. Settle down a bit and take in some fresh air. But in actuality I am a very self-centered person and I have very little empathy for others, thats why I have been told ill make an excellent surgeon.
  
  It’s a dog eat dog world out there. Now I have to go wax my airplane.

• Let’s talk about evolution.
  

  I’m a bio major at Baylor, and we just got done with a huge darwin/evolution unit.
  
  While the theory of evolution as a whole is not technically scientific fact, it is fact that populations of a species adapt to their environments via random genetic mutations rather quickly. In the last 100 years, this has been observed countless times.
  
  However on the flip side, some organisms that emerged as early as the precambrian era remain rather unchanged (echinoderms, horsetails, etc) and exist today as they did millions of years ago.
  
  Marconius posted some great info. If you understand the DNA replication process, then you understand how likely it is for something to go wrong resulting in mutation (albeit mutations can just as easily negatively effect an organism).

  [quote Xeno Dragon][quote A Capps][quote Xeno Dragon]My estimates are that roughly 76% of the planet is idiotic at this point in time. That figure excludes animals, people under the age of 13, those with mental difficulties, and the elderly. It also excludes Bush, because he threw the average over 600% stupidity.[/quote]
  
  Our president did graduate from Yale, which is more than I can say (albeit I cannot speak for you). He may have made a bad decision or two, but he has helped my family out significantly during his time in office. Sure, people often do some pretty ignorant things, but I don’t mind so long as their incompetence doesn’t interfere with my life. One may live happily regardless of their level of intelligence.[/quote]
  
  Great, so he’s helped your family. What about the thousands of others that have been torn apart by this stupid war for oil? What about the mothers who will never see their children again? The people who died without being able to see their children grow up? What about my friends who have died over there?
  What about the victims of Katrina? The ones who could have survived if Bush had actually done something to help when it mattered?
  What about the economy crisis we have thanks to Bush? The sh*tty foreign relations? It seems his plan to get illegal Mexicans out of the country is to ruin our economy to the point where a peso is worth more than the dollar, and they could make more money in Mexico.
  So he played favorites and helped your family, and maybe a few other rich ones, what about EVERYTHING else? You can’t accidentally mess things up this bad, you either have to be a moron, or doing it on purpose.[/quote]
  
  Our boys who went to Iraq did so willingly, albeit that is not the argument at hand. And I pray every day that oil prices go up, as my family has mineral rights out the wazzu all over Texas. And you can’t honestly blame the deaths attributed to hurricane katrina on our president…
  
  Our economy has been at its all time peak under the Bush presidency, the stock market hit record highs week after week a few months back, and we are just now starting to see a slight slump. I know my family has made the most of the recent prosperous economy, and without some of the bills passed by dubya, we would not have been able to afford our plane.

• dont ya wish it was possible to feel great all the time everyday 24/7 until you die?
  

  Just constantly take ecstasy :)
  
  
  But in all seriousness, life is awesome because of a fine mix of good and bad days. The best feeling, is having your sadness swept away, not being in a constant state of tranquility.
