Just when I wanted to reply to this thread, it was closed, so I propose a continuation of it.

In Message 295, Modulous said:
I predict that eventually there will be only be single celled life on earth.
Once there was only single celled life on earth. From there it evolved to what it is now. There is no reason to assume that, if it ever comes to pass that only single celled life remains, evolution will grind to a halt, unless by 'eventually' you mean "just before our sun goes nova." But that would be cheating because that would stop evolution in any stage.

Continuation?
Para,
As far as I can tell, what you're responding to is tangentially related to a post that was already tangentially related to the original topic. I don't see this as a continuation, but something that needs to be formulated as a full-fledged new topic.
In that case, can you work this out like a nwe topic (new title, more descriptive body, etc?)
I'm open to being convinced otherwise, as I wasn't participating on the original thread. I only checked a few posts deep into the conversation.. but this was my strong impression.
Thanks.

Re: Continuation?
You are right, it is off-topic. I don't think it is worth it's own topic though. So I retract.
