Slime mold is quite intelligent.Those features are built upon existing features.
I never said that dogs or fish have the exact same conscious complexity of a human being or primate, merely that they do have a kind of primitive consciousness, they have an inward reality of being.
The Monarch butterfly migration is a example of information memory passed on. They migrate from continent to continent over multiple generations to the same exact place in Mexico then back to Canada through another set of multiple generations.Who are 'they'? What do you mean by 'memory' in this context?
As best we can tell, instincts are genetically coded complex automatic behaviours or predispositions as a result of evolutionary selection pressures. There are some effects of individual experience, e.g. starvation, that can 'tag' particular genes and alter their expression. These 'epigenetic' tags may be inheritable for a few generations. These could potentially alter a descendant's behavioural predispositions (e.g. influence their eating patterns), but it's only a 'memory' in the broadest sense.
People feel all kinds of things about their ancestry. IMO, what they 'feel in their blood' about their ancestors should not be taken too seriously. We are all the survivors of evolutionary selection - we all have ancestors who will have suffered unimaginable hardship and trauma - genetic evidence suggests that the human population has been through several severe bottlenecks, possibly down to as few as between 1,000 and 10,000 breeding pairs.
OK, well, all memory is information, it just comes in different forms and may be used in different ways. So if we count genetic inheritance as memory, some may be used behaviorally (e.g. reflexes, imprinting, docility/aggressiveness, innate navigation) and some developmentally (e.g. metamorphosis). But this is significantly different from the experiential memory of an individual, (e.g. episodic, semantic, procedural, etc) which is acquired rather than innate.The Monarch butterfly migration is a example of information memory passed on.

elephants have episodic memory and other animals have the ability as well.OK, well, all memory is information, it just comes in different forms and may be used in different ways.

Musk is the first person to land a space ship. He now builds all the rockets for NASA. Interesting how you think the richest man in the world talks nonsense. This is like saying Edison is talking nonsense. Moving pictures, electric light bulbs, that is nonsense. Or Einstein's theory that challenged the traditional Newtonian view of space and time as separate, absolute entities.The first person quoted was talking utter nonsense.

In a 2018 interview, he discussed the idea of using genetic modification to make humans better suited to life on Mars, such as by increasing their resistance to radiation or by enabling them to produce their own food. I suppose the fact that he has built a spaceship to go to mars does not make him an expert on DNA. But people are always throwing money at him for whatever he wants to do. Yes, those are people on the ground standing next to the spaceship. They did not believe in Noah and his Ark but somehow they believe in Musk and his spaceship. Musk always seems to have people that can do what he wants to be done. Elon Musk has been known to ask unconventional interview questions to job candidates to assess their problem-solving abilities and creativity. As a carpenter, we run into problems that seem impossible to solve. My experience has been if I keep working on it a miracle will happen and all the pieces will fall into place. I do not know of anyone that has not finished their project. As long as they do not stop and keep working on it.Musk *was* talking nonsense -- about genetics.

Correct.I suppose the fact that he has built a spaceship to go to mars does not make him an expert on DNA.

I did not say space ship. I said rocket. The rockets for the space shuttle were a one-shot deal.However, the Space Shuttle was a re-usable "space ship"
He may not do any of it. Although he claims to help solve the problems. All he wants are people that can solve difficult problems. If you persist, eventually you will find a solution. If you work long enough and hard enough.Also, Musk didn't do any of that personally.
I think it is a scam. I think he wants to harvest precious elements from astroids. In college my son worked on a robotics for core samples. He even went to Washington to put on a demonstration to secure funding.Just because he talked about it earlier doesn't mean it was realistic.
Good grief. The only non-reusable part of the Space Shuttle was the fuel tank.I did not say space ship. I said rocket. The rockets for the space shuttle were a one-shot deal.
The results are clear in a statistical analysis of NASA and SpaceX projects. In 118 space missions, NASA saw an average cost overrun of 90%. Over 16 missions, SpaceX saw an average cost overrun of 1.1%. SpaceX projects tended to take an average of about four years, while NASA projects averaged about seven years.The solid rocket boosters (SSRBs) were recovered and refueled.

When we compare my tiny little errors to your huge massive errors there really is no comparison. You are clearly the the winner in that department. You swallow the camel and strain out the gnats. Same with the Bible you pick out tiny little translation issues and ignore the massive amount of scientific evidence that the Bible is accurate and true. You could turn your stumbling blocks into stepping stones, but you just do not want to.So I point out your error

you you you you you and never me, i get itIt was *you* that took the time to "correct" and "error" that you claimed was in post #89, and you were exactly opposite of correct. You made "tiny little error" in someone's post into your response and you were completely wrong. The bible has nothing to do with this.
you you you you you and never me, i get it
I don't follow your religion or take it's doctrine seriously
