The biggest problem I have with the traditional evolutionary argument is that mutation is random. That sounds like a big excuse for not being able to discover why changes happen - "random" simply does not exist. There are ALWAYS causes to mutation effects, and I think it's likely those causes come from many environmental influences. The idea that DNA just up and switches around willy nilly for no reason at a regular pace in all organisms makes no sense.

Even if a memory can activate in one part of the brain does not mean that by removing that part the memory will not pop up somewhere else

How you can make totally preposterous statements and then expect to be taken seriously by anyone at all is beyond the ridiculous

The difference between Santa and Zues is that there is an abundance of literature, and books, and written history, stories and such that put Santa in the proper context, in addition to other historical facts.

it would be quite logical if the extra 98% of our genome just happened to contain 98% of our genetic coding.

You weren't trying to start some sort of friendly, light hearted conversation. You started this to get attention for your insane political agenda about lawyers and big govt oppressing small business by putting braille on money.

What i suggest is what if you have no film at the back, and just keep on calculating the continued quantum state?

That is, what we term our reality is nothing more than a set of arbitrary agreements arrived at to give us a semblance of order and context.

The fact that you put radiometric dating and '200 million years' in the same sentence betrays your lack of knowledge on the matter, as does the comment on uniformitarianism.

Carbon levels have not been uniform - this is well understood and accounted for when carbon dating

Could you, by the rules of quantum mechanics, figure out the position and momentum functions and any later point for as long as the entire set remains un-observed?

If you know the position and momentum function of all particles that could be involved in an "un-observed" interaction

As long as you think you have boundaries, YOU ALWAYS WILL!!!!!!!!!

I think, what you are thinking, is the hypothalamus, which is often referred to as the "reptilian brain"

Higher brain function comes from the outside bit, not the cortex.

The underlying fundamental concept is invariance, not differences. In both types of rekativity, there are quanties that are the same, called invariants, when measured by any observer.

it would take years of study in astro and theoretical physics to enlighten you on the subject of the big bang theory.

but we haven't determined the cause.

There is no one ideology or philosophy that can address all circumstance and situation equally and without fail

that's just as much a 'good' thing as it is a 'bad' one (frankly, it's neither; it just is what it is).

I sometimes wonder if man will ever truly develop the ability to understand the nature of matter and energy.

so ultimately you end up at a singular point.

^Sure it's a real term but it's not whether or or not it's real , it's whether or not it needs to be used.

It doesn't.

yes, life was inevitable, was the answer I sermised

Synaptic field ?

This sort of verbosity should serve as part of a primer for those wanting to know when they're dealing with junk-science and "new age" nonsense.

We still have no understanding at a fundamental level of what electricity, gravity, electromagnetism or even matter are composed of. We just have some good theories that fit observations

The boffins here might feel offended that its too entertaining. It sounded a lot like m-theory with a religious twist though.

The basis of the question is irrelevant

There was nothing profound about that question.

Really? It's straightforward.

Here's a thought:

Take this kind of off-topic carp to the Religion forum.

I know, I know... crazy thought.

Oh man. You'd think that after a while, at least those trying to post scientific ideas in a science forum would eventually figure out the difference between a theory, a hypothesis, and just something you yanked out of your posterior.

Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera of the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Mexico states that “In about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity,” according to a report in the major Mexican newspaper Milenio Diario

YOU CHANGE THE PATTERN IN THE BRAIN

Great "Appeal to Authority" opener. Which scientists? Got cites?

Really? Can you show me where it says that

like, on Science Daily? Cause I read it every day, and I missed that.

I don't think it has to do with race or genetic disposition.
more likely it has to do with tolerance form their own bodies, built up because of their upbringing.

Some cultures / races have a deficiency of the low-Km aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) isoenzyme. This deficiency results from inheritance of mutant ALDH2*2 allele.

This affects your bodies ability to metabolize alcohol.
