..." at least one prominent Nobel laureate--Francis Crick--who is (or at least was) a skeptic of abiogenesis..."

Do you have a reference for this?

"When did a monkey ever become a human being..."

Right on Werner, I couldn't have said it any more concise than that.

Another computer simulation-The evolution of a clock:

For me these simulations make clear the concept that complexity can arise out of simple beginings. This is a radical idea that is very counter intuitive.

This is by far the longest thread I ever started, albeit unintentionally. How embarrassing!

" When did a monkey ever become a human being. "

I could have sworn you said you read Darwin, Werner. If you had, you would know that he never said anything remotely like that.

The question is for YOU,

Now ...When did a monkey ever become a human being?

The answer is never. We and the monkeys are distant cousins. What is it with this disdain for monkeys anyway? Not good enough for you? Not... evolved enough?

D'know, many species have a "language."

yeah jennie,

i dig what your saying.

grunts, howls, screams, or
"pyows & hacks" are things
many creatures can do, but
a language they do not make.

prose, poetry, and lyric is where it's
at. telling of the past and things to
come. jokes and lies.

cool article, thanx.

Do you two need a time out?

Labels only take us farther apart. They are a shorthand to narrow down a more complicated situation, making everything less percise and less clear.
