[QUOTE="Guy Threepwood, post: 75965300, member: 423388"] Well all the good folks here can debate all day long, & I've never seen anyone concede defeat !(except by that most graceless form; insult) But there is something very humbling about arguing with a computer. I had a friend who was a surgeon & skeptic of Darwinian evolution, I thought I could objectively prove to him the power of the Darwinian algorithm in a program - again I'm not claiming to have single handedly debunked ToE - I just proved to myself that it absolutely did not work the way it did in my thought experiments- which led me to investigate further I think it is due to a fundamental bias- everything we do is in anticipation of a future consequence, that's how we are wired, and it's almost impossible to remove this 'forethought' in our thinking, but a computer can.
