Yes. Please keep your attention focused on "an animal." > Let me try the original question again. > > Was there ever a single animal that could respond to DQ? Yes. > What is an example of something it could do "then" (when it could respond to > DQ) that it can no longer do? It died. > When you respond to these, here are two more. > > Could ALL single animals at one point in time respond to DQ? Was it only > particular "species"? Or only certain individuals within a species? An individual. > Did all animals lose their ability to respond to DQ when "man" popped up? If > no, why? If so, how? All animals? No. > [Platt] > And if you think the wind and tide respond to DQ -- well, we will never agree > because the wind and tides are going nowhere from an evolutionary perspective. > > [Arlo] > Would you say that evolution has completely stopped on all levels except for > "man" (his intellect, not his biological body)? No. There is evolution in both the social and intellectual levels, and possibly in man's biology as it becomes connected to computers. > Could you envision the possibility that evolution > is still occurring on either the inorganic or biological (or social) levels > somewhere? Somewhere? Perhaps. Somewhere is a pretty big space. > In other words, is it just "on earth" that all evolution has > stopped? Or has it stopped everywhere? (Again, just asking for you to > speculate > based on your view) Evolution has not stopped "on earth." ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
