I'm sure that someone on this forum will explain this to you in due course
Quote:Let me ask you this: Do you believe if everyone agreed to stop having sex that humans wouldn't cease to exist in a single generation?
What's this got to do with anything? If everyone agreed then alternative methods would be found like artificial insemination for example.
Quote:Also you seem to not understand your own application of anthropic principles when you suggest that mutation "favours" or nature "selects"
I'm not sure that I used these terms but if I did it's only because that's the language I use. I use the words favour and select in an evolutionary sense and not in the sense that you imply.
When evolution 'favours' one mutation it simply means that it gives its recipient an advantage and increases the probability that it will pass its genes on to the next generation. Not that it has somehow made a decision.
Quote:We all know that nature doesn't select anything. Biological viability has been termed natural selection to give it an anthropic tone.
See above..
Thank you for your conversation, it's getting late here so I'm about to hit the hay
.(God willing) I'll be back on this forum tomorrow afternoon. Once again, thank you!
