We would not engage in any scientific research because the task (gap in our knowledge) was so huge. Why do you say that? Do you only work on problems where the solution is trivial? I suppose that might be the case: you triviallized all of evolution by simply saying, "I thought about it, and it doesn't work." Quite the opposite. I've actually thought about it ... and the evolutionary theory doesn't add up. If you assume an average 13 years between generations, then you cannot produce Homo Sapiens in the available time.

What is wrong with a bit of discussion? Have you no sense of *FUN* at all? Lots, just I covered this sort of crap 30 years or more ago. You really need to relax a bit! .... Honestly. As I said WRT herrings......... BTW Donal, did your God create the entire fossil record, fake radiocarbon dating and create the appearance of plate tectonics, or do you accept that these things happened over millions of years elapsed time?

So what, Neither did I. at 16 9th or 10th grade I joined the US Navy. Like you I was bored to death. Don't base your assumptions of intellect on the schooling offered in your country.... it's been proven to be very unreliable. No kidding. I'm more than willing to discuss any topic with you Joe.... I have a grade 9 education. Do you think I'm stupid? Never said you were, my comment was to boobpimp. I just passed an interview described by my peers who failed it as a grueling 45 minute interrogation.... I was accepted and awarded the position in 15 minutes. They have diplomas inn Engineering..... I have only field experience and am self taught. Thats great, many corporations will not even talk to you without a degree. I agree 100%. Daily I work with some of the countrys leading engineers. I own a recruiting firm and place them with many of the USA's fortune 500 companies. I've learned that many times a Phd stands for Piled higher and deeper, some are total idiots. Bwahahahahahahahaha! You got *that* right! I used to have a self-taught software designer working for me, brightest one I'd ever had. She had a high school education but wasn't afraid to think and learn. Had a newish PhD working for me too, he was quite put out that she got paid more than he did. Told him she was better value and all a degree proved was you had the time/money to stay at school long enough to get one. PDW |

I suppose that might be the case: you triviallized all of evolution by simply saying, "I thought about it, and it doesn't work." Quite the opposite. No, that's exactly what you're saying. Or are you claiming that you're a biologist qualified to critique the work of thousands of your colleagues. I've actually thought about it ... and the evolutionary theory doesn't add up. If you assume an average 13 years between generations, then you cannot produce Homo Sapiens in the available time. First of all, most mammals come to maturity in a year or less. Smaller mammals are often even faster, and more primitive lifeforms may have many generations in a year. You may have an argument that several hundred thousands generations seems short for our development from "Lucy" (I would still differ), but the lower lifeforms have had billions of generations. When you consider what we've done with dogs in just a few hundred generations or so, I can easily believe that there's been plenty of time for us to have been created by evolution. Try it yourself! OK, another set of examples. All of the plant and animal species that we now called "domesticated" are quite different from their wild predecessors. All of these new species "evolved," largely as an accident of interaction with human culture, in a time span of less then 10,000 years. Actually, many occurred in less than 1000 years - Wheat for instance (IIRC) evolved quickly because several naturally occurring mutations were very compatible with human cultivation. |

Funny you should mention that - there was a study of Canine DMA published recently that was looking at the "distance" of various breeds from their wolf ancestors. There were some obvious results, like huskies and other sled dogs are "original" breeds, but they also found the Pekinese are an ancient breed, and one that as billed as an "ancient Egyptian dog" (I forget the name) was developed in the last few hundred years. |

Yes, I heard that science program too. There are a number of interesting studies of dog DNA, linking behavior to genetics among other important questions. Easier and cheaper than doing the same research on people... although the implications are a little scary... DSK |

Right On Joe...... just blew the competition away by having a letter of
reference sent to HQ that the entire Project was back on track since I was hired. Now that feels good! I'm directing Engineers all because I have the experience to do so. It's like sailing.... I don't totally understand why I make some decisions.... just that they are correct for the circumstances. It's an innate reflex based on experience. You can tell someone that has "water experience" just as easily as someone that has "construction experience".... it's all in their rational and logic.... based on years of experience.
