Conversation: a bird in northwestern US has changed its tune due to selective pressures from the changing environment to better have the females hear the now lower, and slower, tons through the dense foliage. Sport says "where's the mutation of the genes? Therefore it's not evolution!" And his knowledge on the subject gets even better.
Comment:
So, when a person learns a new language, are you saying that 'evos' claim it is the result of mutations?
Whatever are you carryiong on about?
Sport's Response:
Evos say only populations evolve. Individuals (supposedly) are stuck with their genes. Genes are dumb. Genes don't learn, right? How do you explain the fact that cells and genes (which are just dumb matter) actually learn and comprehend things?
Did anyone else picture a little strand of genetic material reading a text book? I did. :) How do genes LEARN things? By reading of course.

That reminds me of what a textbook I had in school said about genetic mutation:
ReplyDeleteA cell might be reading a message that's supposed to say "Call to your friend below." Instead, the first letter has changed and the message says "Fall to your friend below." And the cell dies.
