As I understand it, evolution theory (of whatever variety) doesn't have anything to say about the origin of the cosmos and the initial conditions attendant thereto.Apparently Ichneumon disagrees with you.
At least it appears so from this post.
Just stirring the pot, as I am bored with wrapping Christmas presents.
Sorry, g_w, I don't see anything in Ichneumon's long post-o-links that mentions evolution addressing the question of the origin of the cosmos; the origin of life, yes, but not the origin of the cosmos.
I'm guessing that you've got temporary tinsel-induced blindness, brought on by prolonged exposure to flickering tinsel-reflected light from an open fire on which chestnuts are roasting.
That's my current theory, anyway...
Full Disclosure: When was Darwin's birthday? Maybe folks can send each other various amino acids, nucleotides and such to celebrate. Then, X number of years later, their gifts will (given the proper conditions) appear under the fossil tree? :-)
If X is large enough, I think you might be onto something—indeed, there's a non-zero probability that a black hole will emit a Yugo if you wait long enough...which seems to me sufficient reason for not wanting to live forever!
Merry Christmas and many ho-ho-hos to you and yours, and the same to all FReepers everywhere...
P.S. Perhaps you noticed that I equated a 'guess' with a 'theory' a few lines above. Just my season's homage to some of our FR evolution deniers...
Yes, you are nearly correct.
Other informed opinion blames the Chardonnay.
Very unusual, too, in that I passed up the Smoked Porter from the Natural Foods store in favor of wine.
Someday I hope to learn to read posts before replying...
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good NightTM!
