The Evolution Conflict

[wil]

I don't think that man's doing, no matter how extreme, could wipe out all life on this planet, but I think it sure could wipe out all human life....When we can no longer compete, we will no longer survive as a species....Just wanted to brighten your day

Man cannot destroy the earth, man can only make it uninhabitable for man, the planet will survive-Rush Lmbaugh

I'm not a fan, but I sure like that quote. And I did miss state on survival not affecting...I meant to say the strongest and fittest concept has been eliminated, my bad.

and yes evolution I suppose contains devolution as well...up down or sideways we continue to change/evolve.

Sorry to nitpick about this, but it is just this kind of vagueness that confuses the issues around evolution and religion. The survival of the fittest concept is alive and kicking, not eliminated. And you might argue that we are decreasing the fitness of our species for the environmnent, or altering the environment negatively for our speices, but the result will still be evolution (or extinction), not devolution.

But we do continue to change and evolve, we just are in no position to witness it.

And it sure is amusing to find something upon which both Rush and I agree.

peace,
