So there are different varieties of the virus? Will it, given enough mutations, become something other than a virus?
Mutations and gene swapping have been happening in virus’ for hundred of millions (or billions and billions) of generations yet has any virus become more than a virus? So what fact of evolution am I to observe here?
It's in areas like these where I part ways with the Theory of Evolution. While evolution is a fact, the proponents of "our ancestors were amoebas" make what I consider an tremendously unwarranted leap.
I've been saying for years that my problem with the grand theory of evolution is not based on religion, but science.
TXnMA, you're a physical chemist -- what do you think about evolution? My personal experience has been that biologists (but not biochemists) are more likely to believe the theory of evolution as currently taught, but that chemists often say, "wait a minute, things aren't quite that simple."
