Well it suddenly gets vague right there, doesn't it. Very specific, and then some vague language about evolution research.
I suspect this research consists of sitting in a chair and looking at something and saying, "That shure looks designed".
But I could be wrong.
edit: anyway, maybe he'll bring a little brains to the table. Beating up people like Salvador and JoeG is...well, we're not picking on somebody our own size, that's for sure.
edit 2: of course, this is Uncommonly Dense we're talking about. There's no surer way to get banned than to have some idea what you're talking about, so I'm not getting my hopes up. |
No danger of that happening to Lee Bowman! He has posted to talk.origins occasionally.
"The banana obviously appears designed, with it's tear along ribs,
taste, and texture. The curve simplifies eating, since the wrist can
be held straighter. The taste consists mainly of the esters Octyl
Acetate, and the texture is due to a unique cellular structure. The
'asexual' Cavendish banana has no seeds, is highly edible, and has
become a staple for much of the world's developing countries.
Why and how did it come into being? Darwin theory doesn't attempt to
explain it. Any thots?
By the way, I can't swallow the idea that human intervention made it
edible. The variety that's eaten has a reproductive structure that
negates the need for seeds. It's theorized that a random mutation
"many thousands of years ago" removed the seeds, thus making it
edible. Wasn't that thoughtful of nature? Interesting that when the
seeds left, an alternate system of reproduction fell into place. "
How about another:
"Anything can exist in this universe. If you postulated quarks prior
to the 70's, you'd have been labeled as 'nuts'. If quarks and other
subatomic particles exist, Why is it so hard to accept non-physical
entities?
It's still an open question as to whether or not you are just 'you'
(the physical body), or if the body itself is simply a vehicle for the
real you. Out of body experiences are common, and there's been tons
of books written on the subject. "
