He doesn't believe in God or Evolution but in alien seeding and 'ghosts' that live in white noise.

does anybody else know about this?

ok now he's saying that Darwin was paid off by a government to create the theory of evolution to stop people from discovering the truth.

Hari, didn't your mum tell you not to talk to nutcases?

now he's saying that we haven't really progressed in the last hundred years.

Is this chap wearing a suspiciously shiny piece of headgear?

my main evidence for progress was the iPod

oldlib, that's hilarious.

fruitcake obv, but where is he getting this stuff from?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 10 January 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

what I mean is, where is his proof or justification?

this is fair comment. but on the other hand, i don't think darwin posited evolution on that kind of a time scale. putting it mildly.

Alien seeding = von Daniken theory? White noise ghosts sound like those E(lectronic)V(oice)P(henomena) nuts. Ferchrissakes there's a Hollywood film coming out on the subject this year. Odd combination of delusions, though.

Yes I'd seen the White Noise thread just after I posted, nevermind. So it's some movie fanboy just hyping the nonsence right?

I agree henry, one hundred years is hardly room for evolutionary improvement.

~~well we still haven't got a "later" link on ilx...~~

hi hari! apparently it's me again

I hear Afghanistan's exporting a lot more opiates these days.

I think it's fairly obvious that the most effective explanation for how homo sapiens came about is from 'Repo Man'. Time machines, man.

five years pass...

Serious question - how do mutations that lead to a different number of chromosomes perpetuate? Surely they couldn't breed with any other living animal, even if it was an advantageous mutation?

I don't really know, but it kind of seems like if you can make gametes that aren't missing any big chunks of information it doesn't matter much if your mate has the same number of chromosomes. The offspring's chromosomes might not pair up nicely but everything would still be there in some form. Just wikipedia, but this seems sort of relevant.
