Distinguishable Terms

Wow! A thread about evolution! This should be interesting.

Discussing the finer definitions of scientific terminology... now there is a new tact. I have never seen that before and I can't wait to see where this discussion leads!

And this whole "micro-evolution" vs. "macro-evolution" thing... I did a google on this, and didn't come up with anything... I hope you can elaborate.

I sure hope we can talk about the second law of thermodynamics as part of this discussion.

Oh... you put this in the Spirituality and Religion Forum...

Should this be in Science and Mathematics?

Maybe you whacked your google? I came up with 26,100. Are you sure you spelled it right? Again, maybe you whacked your google.

I was wondering about the Spirituality and Religion thing too. Yep, maybe Science and Mathematics, or Humour or even Waggery. Will M-W be contacted to input the new words?

If I am to work on a hypothesis I will have to wait until I see where this leads so I know what it is actually about.

Chiso, you have your terms mixed up.

Pocus-Cadabra is the word for the magical process that caused dogs, frogs and hogs, cats, bats and gnats, bees, trees and tea leaves to pop into existence out of nothing.

Natural inclination is the word for the means by which a species manages to remain the same in spite of millions of changes to their DNA that might otherwise cause them to evolve into something else over the course of a few million years.

Re: Distinguishable Terms
Dear Chiso,
No one who ever uses a phrase like "'natural inclination' or something" has any right to attempt to delineate everyone elses usage of the english language. Particularly when the term you're searching for is natural selection.

If you don't know what you're talking about, why should we listen to you? Please learn a bit more on the topic and then you can tell us what we can and can not say. Deal?

I realize the lack of science and mathematics in Pocus-Cadabra; I put it where it belongs.

Of course this is in the right place, as my signature line indicates.
He-e-e-y...You been readin' my notes?
