Incremental evolution?

Can someone explain how many iterations of what duration?

That looks like a near infinity? How does that work, I forgot?

We already knew the Blues were different from all the Norms.

I learned a valuable lesson in Kindergarten when — I have no idea why — my teacher told the class that there are no blue animals. I said, “What about the blue whale? Or the Bluebird?”

She just told the class that I was wrong, and we moved on.

The lesson she taught me that day was reinforced by many teachers throughout my educational experience.

By design. You knew that already, no?

[sevinufnine]

Amen! By Design :) The design of God that is!

Blue Whales?...................

Good story, great lesson.

Most male animals in the animal kingdom are the ones with the most colorful features. That is, except humans, where the females do everything they can to make themselves look pretty.

If you’ve ever had a polar bear as a pet, then you know they are blue. The zoologists say ‘black’ but that would be racist....................

I guess if a random FReeper who earned a B-minus in high school biology and almost flunked trigonometry can't fathom how that works, then it must be inexplicable!

The most intelligent thing ever:Random Chance...or, if you like, Brute Force.

Capable of solving the most vexing problems (provided you’ve got a million or so years to hang around for an answer).

Who would every have thought of that?

So ironic.

Is your name Johnny?

Is that why the teacher disliked your answers?

A friend told me evolution is like an earthquake shaking the Boeing parts warehouse, and an assembled 737 rolls out the doors.

Birds of a feather flocking together is racist.

For the same reasons sunsets aren’t orange and red

[Alas Babylon!]

How's our wavelength?

[dangus]

Funny... I was only yesterday watching how beautiful dragonflies were and commenting to my son, “there should be more blue animals.”

[redgolum]

I think I had the same teacher.

But I wasn’t as compliant. I went to the encyclopedia and found the picture of a blue jay
