Well done. And now this thread moves into the 1960s, on its seemingly all-but-inevitable march to #2,000.

My first day at school.

My First Communion was somewhere around here, IIRC. Lotta good my 12 years at St. Mary's of Redford did me! =:-D

[PatrickHenry]

My first day at school. [1964]

Ah, you went to school in the "under God" days. I started out with the old pledge. Now it's making a comeback. It's like saving your old fat neckties. What goes around ...

My Dad & I were at a Tigers game. The announcement came over the loudspeaker to not take certain routes home after the game. Dad worked for the city & knew every street, so he drove us around to the area we were supposed to avoid. All throughout the black neighborhoods people were walking down the sidewalks, carrying TVs, small appliances, & other things they had just looted from the local stores. The '67 riots had begun.

Now it's making a comeback.

Kinda like the Monty Python Parrot, merely stunned.

Hey!! Wait a minute! Those are reparations! Get Sharpton and Jesse on the phone! Oops wait, those were people of ..... Well, neighborhood people, weren't they?

And now we enter the 1970s. The Viet Nam war was peaking, Nixon was President, Kent State was somewhere around this time. I can't recall who whom I was dating, but I'm sure she was flat-out georgous. (We're gonna make it to #2,000.)

[AndrewC]

1972

[AndrewC]

georgous

Pretty too.

Bought my first electric shaver and had to start using it too!

First time I fell in love. Sigh. Think I'll stop now!

You seem perfectly suited this evening for a long meaningful chat with f.christian. I'm leaving the thread in your capable hands while I bail out for the evening. Tomorrow, we hit #2,000. Maybe even tonight!

Somehow the man in some sort of Alice in Wonderland fashion is able to hold two mutually contradictory beliefs at the same time. Nevertheless the man agrees it is a program.

Gore, it really makes you look foolish when your “irrefutable” evidence contradicts your hypothesis. No one here, with the possible exception of the creationist peanut gallery, is buying your phony argument. You would have more credibility if you referenced those Jack Chick comics. The authors do NOT hold mutually contradictory beliefs. You still falsely assume the genetic program is not adaptable to change. You were given several examples demonstrating this to not be the case and you apparently have chosen to ignore them (or you just don’t understand) . Development is a complex, highly regulated process, but NOWHERE in the passage does the author claim that the process cannot handle a deviation. Adaptability is a cornerstone in biology. The authors are well aware that the program can handle changes. Drosophila has been used as a genetic model for development for decades and all kinds of mutations have been introduced (some of which by “random” means). The PROGRAM is able to adapt. If anything, this passage is “irrefutable” evidence in favor of evolution! They note the similarity between flies, worms and humans during development. This is clearly irrefutable evidence that they all share a common ancestor.
