Sir, you mentioned evolution not me. You said the Giraffe was created this way.
The answer to this is physics. Evolution can only create designs mathematically/architecturally approved by physics. This is why, for example, the blue whale is the largest animal to ever exist. As for the specific design of cabbages and how physics orientates this, that's a question for somebody with far knowledge than I possess. Sacred geometry new age types are particularly interested in this.
Evolution is a theory, whether true or false it cannot create designs.
Time is conceptual, not physical, so it cannot influence biology.
Estimations of how long earth has existed is based on highly spurious dating methods. The millions & billions of years timeline was created because evolution and big bang cosmology require those extremely long timeframes.
I, too, have doubts about this. We have bones, but what we don't have is complete anatomical specimens. I find it difficult to believe something as massive as a brontosaurus could have been cold-blooded in the sense that modern reptiles are.
In a sense, I actually agree with you on this point. At least inasmuch as time cannot be measured in the hands of a clock. I remember watching a doco years ago about several members of uncontacted Amazonian tribe who left the jungle to join civilization. The linguist/anthropologist dealing with them was trying to explain the concept of time to them--clock time, that is, and they flat out could not understand what he was talking about and more or less said it was the most ridiculous system imaginable. Their concept of time was based on observations of nature, it was embedded in the material. Regardless, this is semantics. The passage of time, however you want to measure it, invariably comes with mutability and change, and change is the only constant.
I know James, this is the about the 28th time you've told me in the same space of days.
I can also juggle moderately well and cook a passable crema catalina.
Proper talent!
A lot may be deduced from bones but as you point out, we need the soft tissue to be sure.
It probably was Zip, s/he is a terrible mod. Declan fucked the dog handing her a gavel. Entirely unfit for duty.
I imagine that whatever post of yours that was removed was most likely worthless abuse, like 99% of your contributions to this site.
I have had my run-in's with James before, but his posts don't deserve to be edited/deleted because a mod doesn't like what is contained therein. I'm proud of him lately, he's been self-moderating far better than he has been in the past.
I agree. Advanced years and morbid obesity shouldn't necessarily give someone a pass on being an A-hole.
it was not zipporas flint nothing to do with her -- a person worthy of respect .
I’d agree if it was quality argument in favour or against something, however in this case it was calling another poster a cunt and hoping they die of a heart attack.
That’s very charitable, you must be seeing something that I can’t.
