Man if the first poster was serious, is trying to poke (uneducated) holes the only thing creationists have going for themselves? Come up with an argument at least, ANY argument.<br><br>This seems like a very interesting experiment, I won't be surprised if someone makes machines evolve by themselves. Some software can act like it, so hardware shouldn't be too far off. Not saying that there is a need for some being to start evolution, only that replicating beings starting by themselves is very improbable (what comes after it starts is VERY, very probable and provable), that it took off only one time in one planet in many light years' radius. Just making it faster and controlled. Fascinating stuff indeed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2006 3:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Robotic tadpoles emulate evolution]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/robotic-tadpoles-emulate-evolution/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/robotic-tadpoles-emulate-evolution/</guid><description><![CDATA[Perhaps, in a Galaxy far far away, but then He came down to man.....and brought the first robot with Him???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JOhn Smith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2006 2:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Robotic tadpoles emulate evolution]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/robotic-tadpoles-emulate-evolution/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/robotic-tadpoles-emulate-evolution/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is very interesting! The underlying idea is that tunicate larvae are the ancestors of all chordates (including ourselves).  Chordates are named thus because there is a stiff cord that runs the length of their bodies called the notochord.  It has been hypothesized that tunicate larvae were the first to develop a notochord.   This experiment is cool because it shows how stiffness is a desired trait that gives a competitive advantage.<br><br>On last tidbit, humans have a notochord during development but atrophies and becomes part of the spinal cord.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2006 8:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Robotic tadpoles emulate evolution]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/robotic-tadpoles-emulate-evolution/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/robotic-tadpoles-emulate-evolution/</guid><description><![CDATA[If evolution was real, they could just use real tadpoles.

You do realize that real tadpoles do exist and have evolved over time, and are a great model because of the extreme body changes they endure is good backup for the theory of evolution because creationalists say organisms could not go through such extreme body changes? just asking. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jessie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 8:58AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
