Was my post too long?


I had to laugh when I got to this line. Thanks.

Who gets the draw up the yard stick? Well, when rice can decipher the genome, rice in is the running...


Again, your yardstick, your opinion.

The answer is very simple. complexity is not a question of the number of genes but the complexity of the individual genes themselves. Humans have fewer genes than rice it's true, but with fewer but more comples genes we can make eyes.....

They are not more complex genes, though PERHAPS the way they are inter-related makes it more complex overall. Is having eyes more advanced than the ability to feed from sunlight? It depends on what you value, and who draws up the yardstick for "advanced"

Wasn't it just such an unconstitutional economic means test that shut down our beloved Rhino party?

What yardstick gets used? For example, if the number of genes in the genome is used as a measure of complexity, rice is far more advanced than us.

We have evolved in a symbiotic relationship with the world around us. It is foolish and short-sighted to think we are master.
