Re: Shrinking Population?

I don't know if the refinery is lying or what, but there definately is an issue. I have had numerous cols that have been stable at 5k since the refinery patch suddenly drop to 2k in the last week or so, others that have been stable at 8-9k have dropped to 4k. None of the settings on these cols have ...

Re: Horrible lag/freezing for past 2 weeks

I've had similar issues that started with the most recent batch of 4 or 5 patches. Game freezes for about 15 seconds then resumes, usually shakily. When it happens I'm usually showing a ping of 160 or lower and it's jumped to 350-650 immediately after. It then takes 5-10 minutes of sitting in port f...

If your going to argue about their being a difference between an animal adapting a different color and it becoming a different species altogether then you obviously don't understand evolution.

Re: Evolution

You're misidentifying sub-species as species. Again, we have worm/worm, Stephanomeira/Stephanomeira, maize/maize and Yellow Monkey Flower/Yellow Monkey Flower. To show evidence of macro-evolution, you need to show a jump from worm, Stephanomeira, maize or Yellow Monkey Flower to something other tha...

Re: Evolution

Note that there is no claim that a new species had been created, just evidence that micro-evolution alone can create enough difference within a species to prevent interbreeding among seperate populations . Seems to me that for successful evolution, "survival of the fittest" and all, having more rep...

Re: Evolution

Interesting take. So, you're saying that A changes to B. If B is somehow superior to A, then B survives and A dies off. To follow, since man evolved from apes, and survived, then apes all died off, as had all the inferior forms prior to apes. Right? Man didn't evolve from apes! Ape and man have a c...

Re: Evolution

Just saying the difference between micro- and macro-evolution is artificial. Nature doesn't adhere to manmade boundaries. Mutation can cause changes in DNA, added DNA, deleted DNA whatever (whole chromosomes can be copied, deleted. Whole nucleotide sections can be changed). This can cause one or mo...

Re: Evolution

you agree that micro-evolution is a fact, my first question to you is then: do you agree that mutation (in all its forms) is a fact? I agree that mutations occur, and that fully documented occurances are fact. I agree that speculated or theorized mutations are speculated or theorized. Since your de...

Re: Evolution

You're right. I've heard the 'difference' between micro- and macro-evolution thing so often as an argument against evolution that I made some bad assumptions. You're saying that evolution can take place within a species, but not make new species. The question you then have to ask yourself is: what'...

Spontaneous? I don't think the list has any at the moment, though I may as well be wrong as I did not have time to read up on all of the examples. Spontaneous speciations are hard to observe as they happen quite randomly and may take a long time. I fail to see how it is relevant though, artificiall...

No, the creation of a new species through the manipulated interbreeding of 2 existing species is completely irrelevant to any discussion about evolution. I do not think you've read the report carefully enough. Many of the examples do not deal with manipulated interbreeding of two existing species. ...

Microevolution is fact, not theory, it's proof is all around us. Macroevolution, on the other hand, is nothing but theory and speculation. There's no such thing as micro- and macro-evolution.

We DID screw up the ozone layer. Evidence for that even stands today, when no one cares anymore... So, we've done irreperable harm to the ozone, causing cooling.
