It's kind of disturbing that we're almost 10 years into a new millenium and you've still got Muslims running around screaming about a Zionist conspiracy.

Genomic analyses isn't only for currently alive specimens. It can be applied to fossils quite readily, usually, and when this is done it often fascinating results. I believe it typically involves DNA preserved in bone marrow or faecal matter and such. Goodnight. Welcome to the end result of...

The idea of one monopolistic world government scares me, and the EU seems a step towards that.

Yeah, it's not something you get through in one sitting. I think I'm only 2/3 of the way through it, and that took something like a year. I should really find it and finish it. But even then I learnt so much and went on to research various topics in more depth, or seek clarification through...

Fossil preservation is very rare. Being hard doesn't mean it'll be preserved, but it makes it a damn sight more likely than being soft. I don't think your conclusions are completely correct based on the premise, though I'm not terribly interested in the matter right now... or ever (developmental...

I don't really consider it was environmental factors so much as the rapid blooming of life once certain pre-requisite structures had formed. Exponential growth (or rather logistic growth) is not an uncommon phenomenon in biology; in fact it's one of the cornerstones, and it's interesting that it...

It's more that it wasn't 'sudden' at all; the Cambrian explosion happened over millions of years. It's just that sudden (again, only relative to the entire time-frame of life) changes in environment drastically altered selective pressures in some niches, allowing evolution to act more powerfully...

So, where do they go from here? They can't move forward without all member states. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aQ46UqWi6kQU&refer=home TBH I'm glad Ireland blocked it. It's tantamount to a European Constitution a.k.a. the United States of Europe. I could probably be...

What. Since when did you start using upper case.

God dammit Brogan.

It's a typical social response to value the lives of the young above those of the old. Similar for the defenceless above those who can defend themselves. In this case, you had a defenceless AND young girl. It's also related to the loss of 'potential'; what that young girl might have grown up to...

Kay... go!

Seems like it.

Is it just me or did somebody spam NCAP on a Republican board? Because overnight Obama lost his 3 to 1 lead, and the thread on Israel vs Palestine jumped from 1 to 1 ratio to Israel at 3 to 1. It's kind of odd is all.

That's an el not a one.

The Irish will fuck you all up.

Einstein didn't believe in a God. He believed in the beauty of the universe; he was fully agnostic. Don't confuse his spirituality with religious conviction, you crusading fool. Are you going to even bother reading, you crazy fundamentalist?

Hahahahah! Classic. You mean kind of like how Einstein said: "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal god and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in...

How is it flawed?

What the hell are you talking about?
