I would also like a link to this article if possible. Although I don't consider myself an expert when it comes to genetics, the claim that chromosome number can't increase is blatantly false. There is rampant polyploidy in the plant kingdom wherein a new lineage (whether you want to call it species,...

Not that it is a simple answer to your questions, but the major problem I see with your analogy is that computers don't reproduce. Natural selection, as it relates breeding, and mutation, are major influences of evolution, but there doesn't seem to be any equivalent process with the manufacture of c...

That's simply physical inability. But although meerkats may have complex calls, they have no grammar or syntax, and are not on the way to invent new calls. Invention is purely human. Ok, I guess I would have been more clear to ask if you understood meerkat, as I wasn't referring to the physicall ab...

thereal - If the human spirit did not evolve, where does it come from? Yeah, let's define spirit in physical terms... What about 'the ability to reflect'? Or 'the clear line that separates human intellectual life from brute sentient life'? To get a feeling of what I mean, try an article on this sit...

Ok, I was able to listen to the interview, but as I read the posts I see that BGood has already hit on several points I wanted to address. The first is the misconception that multiple changes have to occur at once for an organism to evolve. I have no idea where this man got this idea from or if it i...

BGood, and thereal, a little mental exercise: http://intelligentdesign.podomatic.com/entry/2006-08-24T09_58_27-07_00 And listen to it (in response to thereal's equivocation between microevolution and macroevolution...again). So far, I haven't been able to view whatever it is you're linking. I'm exp...

We have to believe that all life came about by natural means in order to believe viruses can evolve and pest species can become resistent? This is absurd nonsense. You don't have to believe in macroevolution to believe in microevolution. Evolution is not one of those miracle elixers left over befor...

That's a pretty broad question...can you give a little more context to what you're asking. There are numerous courses taught in universities dealing with ethics, but usually these are focused on whether or not certain aspects of science, such as testing on animals, are ethical or not. Some issues of...

By definition from the media, Global Warming is human induced catastophe. There is no scientific facts regarding this, more facts against. Not to be too harsh, but a statement such as this borders on ridiculous. A simple search in your local library's journal collection will lead you to a significa...
