  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Hemoglobin and myoglobin

    I made way too many mistakes in the OP. I guess I need to do some more studying. Sorry everybody.

    Hemoglobin and myoglobin

    *double checks biochemistry text* Oops, you're right. Well, the reason is still due to oxygen pulling the iron atom and changing the conformation of the protein. Fetal hemoglobin is different because it has less positive charges so there are less intramolecular interactions. Well, each domain...

    Hemoglobin and myoglobin

    It's the gene on the chromosome that is duplicated, but more or less. It did take some time for it to go from a protein composed of one unit to two units to three to four. We still do have the protein myoglobin in our cells (especially in muscle cells). Actually, I see I made an error in the...

    Hemoglobin and myoglobin

    Just thought I'd give another piece of evidence for evolution. This one involves the globin proteins (present in blood for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide). Myoglobin works as a method of transport, but it is incredibly inefficient. Hemoglobin works a lot better. The below graph...

    Please do so, even if I only knew him online, he was still a great man. You may have just convinced me to keep trying here.

    I wouldn't exactly say excellent. I so wish this was a troll. :(

    I really hope that this is a hoax (but I doubt it). CL or Kevin was one of the people here I have a lot of respect for and this is terribly sad news.

    Just stay out of the classified areas, they get real upset if you don't.

    Evolution?

    No, Gould was pretty adamant that all living things evolved. Maybe you should try reading some of his work. Again, I present this as an example. I know you said you had problems opening it before, so you could always read the article in New Scientist instead of the peer-review article.

    Evolution?

    It pretty much is random. If you mean that whether or not the mutation is passed on for accepted, sure. Life itself isn't chemistry, but living things are made out of chemicals and life is only possible because of chemical processes. There's this neat little field that focuses on the...

    Galliforms' Natural Enemy?

    I lost count. I like just talking. It helps me focus my thoughts. There have been many times where I talk to the wall in front of me while typing a response here.

    I've had more productive conversations talking to a wall.

    Galliforms' Natural Enemy?

    PLANTS ARE BRED! Are you really this thick? Where do you think seeds come from? Some individual plants have greater yields than others. Those with higher yields are saved to BREED with other high yielding plants. The BRED offspring have genes for higher yields. The cycle is repeated again...
