    So a part of an animal, adapts and devolves, repeatedly, one generation to the next...

    Hi there, So the thought experiment here is just to examine whether I understand the concept "adaptation" properly or not: say part of an animal adapts and devolves, under selection pressure, then not - one set of generations on, one set of generations off. The epigenome will make no attempt to...

    Lives of Holiness and Godliness

    So you get to Heaven, and there is still so much more you could 'evolve' - disappointed?

    Hi there, So this is basically the problem of the faith, when it comes to "Evolution" - that is, this is what people with faith object to, when they say "I would rather just be in Heaven (with God), than 'evolve' - that is, in a way that prevents me from being with God."

    How are we going to deal with the Christian "Stereotype" (the World's stereotype for us)?

    Hi there, So you could probably approach this, from an infinitely large number of angles, I just wondered what you would think: specifically, on the basis of your entitlement to be loved by the Brethren, but as the world sees it?
