Open a new topic with your favorite "evolution" absurdity, if you like. I'd love to talk about it with you. (If you don't believe function can arise without design, I have examples of circuit designs arising not through human design but through a process of evolution.)
Also if you use the little red-arrow "Reply" icon under the message you want to reply to, it leaves helpful little links under your message to show what you're replying to. Of course if you don't want to reply to a specific message, use the one at the bottom of the page.

im new here so thanks for the reply button thing.
No prob.
About the evolution process youre talking about i would like you to show me.
Better yet, how about an informative (and illustrated) article describing the process of "evolving inventions"? If you can't make the link work, tell me.
No webpage found at provided URL: http://www-personal.si.umich.edu/~rfrost/courses/SI110/readings/EvoInventions.pdf
The basic idea in a nutshell is that electronics experts are designing circuits that are better and more efficient using random mutation and natural selection, the mechanisms of evolution. This shows that great complexity can arise through these processes. Many of these circuits have been patented, which clearly demonstrates their utility.
The process works. If evolution can design circuits, why can't it design living things?
Oh, and we're pretty off-topic. If you'd like to discuss this, why don't you open a new thread, please...

The link doesnt work man
Works just fine for me. It's a PDF file; is your computer configured to read those? You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to do so; download the appropriate version from No webpage found at provided URL: http://www.adobe.com.
Do that and give it another shot.
