Hollywood my suspension of disbelief is seriously being strained into thinking that the Browns can build a championship calibar team and that Brown's draft day is not a depressing alcohol abusing day of pain. Also I hope Neil talks about trilobites this episode; mainly because I've been working on them for my undergrad project. I mean hell I've been told by my adviser that we are the first to describe a specific part of a trilobite

And just imagine the amount of life that we'll never know because they didn't leave fossils Hell think of the life in the oceans that we don't know because we only know about 1% of the ocean.

Stare-Out posted:Sometimes that doesn't work and the gene stays on so you get kids born with tails and wolfboys with fur and what have you. Now the cool thing about atavistic genes is that if you can figure out which one does what, you could go in during the developmental stage and switch it on. They've done this with certain animals, chickens being one of the more famous examples of atavistic gene tweaking in utero; since chickens evolved from dinosaurs, they have dinosaurian atavistic genes for, say, razor sharp teeth, claws, and tails. And now we've made chickens with teeth, tails and actual claws instead of wings. Chickenosaurus.

Stare-Out posted:Nothingness is a tricky concept. Not existing. It's pretty natural to reject it, but not doing so leads to understanding a lot of other things. The fact that there is no inherent meaning to life, doesn't mean it can't have one. In fact, it means you can give your life the meaning you want it to have. Just because it's not there, doesn't mean it can't be.

sean10mm posted:I don't know, this feels like kind of a sheltered view of what huge swathes of the country are actually like. If Pennsylvania is a right-wing hellscape, what do you call the states that didn't go Democratic in the presidential elections of 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000 and 1996? Probably a lot worse than what you experienced in terms of hostility to science education, I'm guessing. WeAreTheRomans posted:Sure thing, man. Probably the 2 most standard biology books I know are Lehninger's Principles of Biochemisty, and Campbell's Biology. Neither of those really have dick to say about creationism. computer parts posted:In Texas there was literally just a sticker on the inside cover which said "The State of Texas is legally required to say that Evolution is just a theory".
