And just like christianity was forced down the throats of so many in this hemisphere?

Chemistry and Biology is very closely related, yet it is two different subjects on school, and is hardly ever mixed in documentaries. Why can't Biology and Evolusion not be seperated into two different subjects as well?
Well, lets see. Could it be because evolution is as much a key part of biology as Molecular Orbital theory is to Chemistry.

Unlike other sciences, evolution does not contrubute very much to the modernisation of society, so why is it important anyway?
Do you take any biotech based drugs. Well there you go.
quote:
There is to date still no rational explination as to HOW evolution occurs in the first place.
The rest of the paragraph was a bit of a data-less rant. Mutations, unlike your computer code, cause a real physical change in a protein. And I can tell you from experience that change is not always bad. If you review the early work in mutational genetics you can see (namely with bacteria) that many mutations useful to the bacteria creep up. And, in contrast to your statement, not everything in evolution is random. Natural selection certianly is not. Which feeds into the next comment by you.
quote:
The process of exactly HOW evolution occures is pure speculation, and there is no experiment performed to date that successfully demonstrated this process. There is also no explanation why evolution would simply stop in some species, such as the shark and jelly fish.
Well, other than the fact that your last statement is garbage w.r.t. evolution. Do you really want papers and citations and if I post them will you read them?
quote:
Let us discuss how the creatures with two sexes evolved from something that can procreate on its own. What does a creature look like with one and a halve sex? Surely this transition must have been a long process. But then why would creatures have developed two sexes in the first place, if the original form could've procreated on its own? And why two sexes, and not more?
Ever hear of bacteria, they have sex in that they exchange genetic material and yet are sexless.
quote:
Oh, and I just thought of something else: The larger and complicated someting is, the less likely it is that a random change would be positive. Therefore, it can be argued, since evolution is explained by rare positive changes, it could be expected that the more complicated a creature, the slower it would evolve. But, instead, if we look up the evolution table, evolusion seems to accelerate rhe close you get to now. Why is that?
That is bunk, evolution does not appear to be increasing. Care to tell us where you came up with that?
