^_^ ... solid aurum.

Is that what they teach in high school now?

When I graduated in 1972, that kind of stuff was just beginning to be offered as an elective.

Now it's basic?

No, that's just my own opinion. And I don't really have any interest in astronomy (I can't believe I made that mistake) until we actually achieve interplanetary travel with Mars.

Whatever happened to that elevator scientists were going to give us?

The one that stretches from the earth up to some space station?

(They're probably in a heated debate over what color to paint it.)

There are a whole lot of safety issues with something like that. Plus, there's the cost which no one country would be able to cover.

Although what this has to do with evolution, I have no idea.

I believe Harvard would file it under CULTURAL EVOLUTION.

Evolution isn't just about seeking the living among the dead or endless genealogies, you know?

There's more to its philosophy than just ape-to-man development.

We're taliking about biological evolution here, Chief, and yes, there is more to it than "ape-to-man," but it hasn't got a philosophy.

Yes, I know.

But there's more to evolution than biological.

Much, much, much more.

But you said you had 'no idea.'

I thought I'd give you one.

But your comments about space have no connection to the thread topic, that's why I had no idea why you started bringing up Pluto and space elevators.

Stormy said, 'no idea.'

You guys can't be so mentally compartmentalized that you completely overlook six or seven other types of evolution, can you?

(Well ... on second thought ...)

That's not what I meant when I said 'no idea'. Stop lying.
